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.

“Yes, because men never do anything asinine like that.
And because she surely must be a good mother figure, just by being a woman. (I doubt she’s quite qualified.)”
Good for you.,.you go girl. Dont take any crap from some of these Richards. There is plenty of insufferable scum of both sexes to go around. And plenty of really, really good ones too.We can tell ‘em apart.
Maura Healey is a deeply disturbed Lesbian Lunatic who is attempting to make herself the Queen of the Gay State.
And here I thought the Government was against endorsing religious views.
I still had more than a few years before I was driving, and my parents determined that Esso's premium price was not worth it.
Why not just put it on the Patriots football helmets? It was tried in Texas. Oh, yeah, nobody would see it would they?

Nobody said nothing about locking horns with no Tigers.
I pretty much bought Gulf gas as I had a Gulf Credit Card, which they pretty much handed out to almost any Yute.
Back in the late 1950s Esso sold a super premium gasoline called Golden Esso Extra.
It had an octane rating above 100 and was marketed to compete with Sunoco 260.
One wiff of Golden Esso Extra on a hot summer day was like taking a shot of airplane glue.
Another Masshole state senator (well former) was just arrested by the FBI. The state AG had nothing to do with it, just like her predecessor Martha Jokely did nothing while the feds arrested other legislators for crimes (including one caught on tape stuffing bribe cash up her bra).
‘cause they’re too busy worrying about crap like this to actually do anything worthwhile!
To you hero is some kind of sandwich, not some nut who takes on three tigers.
Do you remember the Tiger Tail premium to put at your fill cap to show you had a tiger in your tank?
“The fuel system leaks everywhere. It’s a piece of junk!”
Tell it to the spirits of the Sherman and T 34 crews. The 88 was a bitch.
Point taken.
My father in law did ww2 as an enginner for International Harvestor. He worked on a lot of war related projects. One of them was evaluating and rehabbing tanks as much as possible. He was stunned by how many of them had hits right on the stars. Inside was a meat grinder for occupants.
“- I’ve Got A Tiger By The Tail, the 1964 hit by the US country music band Buck Owens and the Buckaroos, was inspired when Owens saw the “Put a tiger in your tank” slogan at a petrol station.”
I really don’t remember the promotion, though I’m properly aged to have done so.
I’m well aware of the song....
