Massachusetts AG Maura Healey wants climate change warnings on gas pumps
Washington Examiner ^ | December 8, 2017 | John Siciliano

Posted on 12/09/2017 1:32:41 PM PST by Zakeet

Massachusetts Attorney General Maura Healey wants gas station owners to post warnings at the pump that say customers are spurring climate change by filling up their tanks.

The idea came up in oral arguments in Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court Tuesday in a case challenging Exxon Mobil's record on addressing the threat of global warming and the attorney general's claim that the company misinformed the public over the threat.

Justice Frank Gaziano asked how gas stations are involved in "deception or fraud related to climate change."

"Because, your honor, the gas sold at those gas stations is among the premier contributors to global warming," Healey's lawyer, Richard Johnston, responded.

Healey has asked for information from Exxon related to the marketing of fossil fuels in Massachusetts, "including advertisements, in particular," Johnston said.

"So, I own Joe's gas station on the corner, I'm a franchisee, and you're telling me that I have information that relates to how Exxon Mobil, this gi-normous corporation, has marketed and lied on climate change?" Gaziano asked.

Massachuttes is not america. Massachuttes is a loyalist european state

Well, I can't argue with that, but don't forget that there ARE conservatives and Freepers here, too.

And BTW -- who dares type "America" with a lower case "a."

Oh I know, women can only do endless boring repetitive in-house stuff. Men get to do everything else, even out in the backyard chores.

It’s not just PC. I consider myself a real feminist. People should be able to do what they wish, barring disrupting others or where it might lower necessary high standards.

And you still haven’t offered examples of how men are flawless in politics.

Yep, everything. Steel, sheetrock, plastics, minerals, wood, concrete, water, automobiles, buildings, furniture, air...you name it, it all causes cancer.

But, we have all paid close attention to the warning signs and are now cancer free. The power of stickers is amazing. Possibly more powerful than #anticancer.

“Good idea. The liberals can fix this thing all by themselves if they’re serious. If ALL the liberals (globally) would simply quit using cars, trucks, buses, boats, trains and planes, quit buying manufactured or shipped goods, stop using commercial crops or canned or frozen goods, stop using electricity, coal, gas & oil, the whole problem goes away. They have the power within their own ranks. Will they do it? Will they save the planet?”

I wish they would just stop breathing.

I want someone to slap climate change labels over the mouths of every blowhard lefty politician. Preferably made of duct tape.

Wonder what the penalty will be for using a magic marker to write “bullsh!t” over this pseudo warning?

I have relatives in Massachusetts who are as conservative as the day is long and who have lived there all their lives.

Unfortunately, they are out-numbered by moonbats.

The gun-grabber AG Maura Healey is widely known in Massachusetts as the Queen of the Moonbats. This ditzy dame is off-the-charts in her embrace of all things lefty.

And how much will the stickers cost?

There has to be some tax money to start and administer the program, the contract to make the stickers has to go to a democratic contributor who will make sure there is a 1000% markup, and the stickers themselves will generate more money by requiring the gas station owners to pony up.

That money will be spent on fact finding trips and workshops in exotic locales for the gov and his friends.

I’m calling my state rep first thing Monday morning to urge these stickers for my state.

We haven’t much time before the Earth goes up in a big ball of flame!

Strange place this state.

Lot’s of white men in their 40’s begging on the streets.

Yeah, it’s true everywhere. California (see how many times they voted FOR good measures but judges declared them null), Maryland, even us women. Sometimes we feel held hostage by a squeaky-wheel minority.

You’ve been duped by the Left which is run by the spirit of antichrist.

Raising children and caring for your family is not endless boring repetitive in-house stuff - it is meaningful, loving care that a woman is designed to give for the love for her husband and children.

You’ve been brainwashed by the Hillary Clinton School of Hatred.

What are you doing on FR if you’re a feminist? Anti-male and anti-true femininity doesn’t belong here.

And oh, BTW, “perfection” is an off-point distractor you people love to use. God-given roles for women and men doesn’t require perfection.
