Establishing the Climate Change Superfund provides liberal pols in the Empire State with a fat slush fund and nothing more.

This legislative armed robbery will not survive appeals. It’s going to have the lifespan of a fruit fly.

The State Legislature has a HUGE Dem majority. Until that changes...we will continue to get sc******. I’m sure this is Schumers doing. Kathy is just his puppet.

How can she say it is a shot heard round the world?

Liberals have lectured us that we aren’t allowed to use any violent imagery or metaphors in our political discourse.

Time for all petroleum companies to shut off The New Yawkers access to their products.

The New Yawkers do not have “standing” to sue them. New Yawk doesn’t own da “viomen”.

Just ignore the legislation. It’s too stupid to litigate.

So what happens when oil execs (perhaps correctly) calculate that NY state is a detriment to their business and picks up the phone to make the call to halt all shipments to NY state, and to very publicly place the fact that there’s no gas at the pump on Hochul’s doorstep.

NY State will be ridiculed in the courts over this latest move by its governor.

Even if you could “prove” the climate change alarmists are right - which cannot be done - the “fossil fuel companies” are unable to force anyone to use their products and therefore cannot be held responsible for any atmospheric CO2.

And further, even admittedly by the climate alarmists own science, suspension of the sale of fossil fuel products in New York State, nay even in the entire United States, would not appreciably change the levels of atmospheric CO2 sufficient to alter any real or predictable “climate change”, as any such U.S. reductions would be a mere drop in the bucket of continued global emissions - which by the way have already reached a peak affect on atmospheric “warming” and thus pose no greater human alarm.

(Think of home insulation. You cannot keep adding insulation endlessly and get continued improvement in how “insulated” is your home. Numerous scientific studies across the globe have recently been reporting that the atmospheric parts per million of “heat trapping” CO2 has already reached its peak “heat trapping” ability and greater parts per million will have no added affects. We are already “there”, at only about an additional 0.3 degrees centigrade and not likely to go further, at least not by “green house gases”.)

Isn’t this an illegal “Bill of Attainder”, targeted against corporations (which have the rights of individuals)?

If the petroleum companies just stopped all sales and deliveries to the State, this would be over in 90 days, and they should continue the ban in perpetuity.
