"In a detailed 135-page complaint, the state makes the case that the companies and their trade group have known since the 1950s that emissions from their products would dangerously warm the planet. But rather than alert the public, seek to reduce their emissions or invest in cleaner technologies, they downplayed the dangers and promoted fossil fuels as safe."
Oil Companies pull out California goes dark and comes to a stop
It is assured that California would grow "cold" for a while....
Atlas shrugs, so Chevron and the others can nap for a couple of weeks.....
Show me the proof that atmospheric CO 2 caused global climate change. Then prove that hydrocarbons burned is the main driver of the increase. I don’t think you can prove it.
This lawsuit is a BIG MISTAKE.
DemocRats trying to make your gas and diesel even more expensive to complete the destruction of America.
When will DemocRat voters realize that the party they support hates them?

If they new, they were wrong. Their products are not warming the planet, at least not “dangerously”!
Left unexplained is how they “knew” burning fossil fuels would destroy the climate in the 1950s when we don’t know that now. There have always been scientists that make loony claims.
They deceived the public by downplaying the risks posed by fossil fuels.
Local news in LA had footage of a town with oil and tar seeping into the streets not far from La Brea tar pits some towns north of LA have oil washing into the beaches.
But we don’t want any of that nasty drilling.
In the 1970s, the panic-stricken fearmongers were wailing and gnashing their teeth about "The Coming Ice Age" brought on by use of "fossil" fuels.
Warm that globe! Polar bears will thank you. They ought to sue California for suing “Big Oil”.
Polar Bears vs. Newsome
(translated from Polar Bear-ese)
Stop it already! We’re sick of the arctic temperatures and those f@#$ing glaciers! We want to immigrate to California and eat at the French Laundry without wearing a mask! Do they serve raw seal meat there? Sushi, at least? Snails?!
Good. The oil companies have plenty of good attorneys on hand to mount a strong defense. Let’s see if the climate alarmists have as strong a case as they think. I’ll be interested to see the results of this one.
