Three of the Democratic AGs — California, New York and Washington — come from states that do not produce coal. Only New Mexico AG Hector Balderas comes from a coal-producing state.

All four Democratic AGs are part of the “Green 20” coalition of top state prosecutors working together to keep Obama administration environmental policies from being repealed and investigate “whether fossil fuel companies misled investors and the public on the impact of climate change on their businesses,” according to a release.

New York AG Eric Schneiderman, the leader of the Green 20, has been one of Trump’s most vocal opponents.

These scum need to be taken out and used as targets in a live-fire exercise.

Damned elites don’t care if a miner can’t find work. What soulless ghouls.

When the “can’t find” gets to I’ll take anything, that is what the soulless ghouls are gaming for. An entire society beholden for scraps from the elites.

“Climate change has to be considered when we are talking about compensating states and New Mexico citizens

Climate always changes. There is NOTHING we can do with CO2 to make a diffference about it

There’s nothing ‘green’ about Xavier Becerra, the appointed (NOT elected) AG of California.

A guy who advocates mass unrestricted Mexican invasion into the U.S. is in no way an Environmentalist.

“Green” 20 is right. Not environmentally green. Green as in MONEY. They want to keep the corrupt environmental research money flowing and control industry so they can turn it into a political crony operation

Why can’t the Federal Government deduct the cost of frivolous lawsuits from the money that States receive? That might put a dent in some of these suits.

"...California, New York and Washington"

When those states show up in any legal action, it will typically end up meaning nothing. Sure the 9th Circus will support them. But, in the end it will amount to nothing more than a waste of time, financial resources and trees for the volumes of legal babble they will print.

You would think so, but you forget about the liberal/Democrat double standard.
