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.

“See! Feminism works perfectly”
Yeah mission accomplished:
White men aren’t wanted (or allowed) in higher education or top gov/private sector jobs.
So welcome to paving streets, “water treatment plants”, and/or what’s left of the construction industry.
I think you highly misunderstand me. And you know not of whom you speak.
First off, being a “feminist” merely means recognizing equal rights. Equal opportunity (except where detrimental). It has nothing to do with hating men, which if anything I identify with more.
I am often called over-the-top conservative, so you have no idea. And extremist, a “libertarian”, an anarchist. (Never mind the oxymoron “NAZI”.)
You’re conversing with a woman who has been conservative all her life, perhaps tempted by the dark side (unbeknownst) when young. But then I became an engineer, stayed moral, finally found a man in my 30s, got married, then had a baby. Quit my job to be a full-time mother, and basically still am (could never get back into engineering with the gap on my resume).
So I’ve already chosen that route you speak of, being sure to raise my son rather than hand him off to strangers. And tell me, how much cooking-cleaning-laundry have you done day-in, day-out for the entire year? Tell me you’d be excited about it! Truth is it makes one stir-crazy. Cabin fever. Etc. It’s hard work, and the same constantly. Unless one can get out occasionally (the groceries about the most exciting) that can be the life.
Preferably a warning label on her mouth.
I find that having a large dog as a personal trainer (and a perpetual 3 yr old) can provide an easy excuse for plenty of off property exploration time.
I’ve used and like that argument.
So, how much CO2 is produced by US Lib Global Warmunistias in compqarison? What should they do to save Mama Gaia?
Ah, MGB. I have one of those in that color...
It’s a hanger queen.
Liberals need a label: ‘The views and opinions of this nutcase is so stupid that you should dismiss it as fake news. Thank you.’
You're getting confused again. I'm a guy. Generally, that stuff is women's work and with the right attitude, a woman doesn't mind because of her love for her family.
Some women, but seemingly fewer and fewer all the time, understand that "cooking-cleaning-laundry" as part of being home for her children and husband carries a lot more meaning and purpose than digging ditches or pushing papers in some sterile office somewhere.
Sadly women have in a great part, lost their way.
Mine was red.
Saw it at a museum recently.
One knows one is aging when the cars of one’s youth are sitting in a museum.
I don’t know why you react with such vitriol but from what I’ve seen “feminists” are generally pissed off people.
They are also, as I see here with you, confused about another pretty basic truth: the important distinction between your extrinsic value as a woman versus your God-given role as a woman.
Today’s “feminist” thinks their value depends on their role. Actually a lot of people get this mixed up, but the gospel of the grace of Jesus Christ teach us that Jesus, the most valuable thing in existence, died for you, a woman, as much as he died for me, a man. GOD, not man, is the one who determines value, and he says you (and I) are worth His Son.
The issue of your God-given role and mine is completely separate from our intrinsic value.
Good bye and good luck.
Healey is an idiot.
Good point.
You’re wasting your time.
Anyone who buys into Manmade Globull Warming should be forbidden to own any products that contribute to their fantasy.
That means more good stuff for me.
I believe a maura healy warning would much more for society.
Thanks Trisham.
