Some Albertans were caught off guard on Friday following Vancouver city council's decision to allocate up to $660,000 towards a lawsuit against five major oil companies.

The movement, spearheaded by a campaign and West Coast Environmental Law, works by getting local governments to jointly launch a class action lawsuit against oil companies in order to pay for costs associated with climate change.

In Vancouver, the money would include paying for things such as repairs to the city's seawall and extreme heat protections.

However, some critics believe there's another way to fight climate change that doesn't also include going to battle with Canadian oil companies.
