All of these cities and counties allow the sale and use of fossil-fuel products, and collect taxes on them, so aren’t they complicit in the very problem they are suing over?
Whatever happens today or in the future – even if it happened many times in the past – is the oil companies’ fault, and it’s going to be catastrophic.
Call their Bluff!!!
these Oil Companies should cease doing business in these State, Cities, Counties,...in an effort to mitigate any potential losses. let them freeze to death for Global Warming.
What happened to Mark Steyn’s lawsuit with Mr Hockey Stick?
Ya afraid so much; move somewhere equatorial.
The weather balances out there I hear.
That's already happening just south of them!!
SHIT all over sidewalks in SF!

But ALGORE said it would only be ONE decade.
And THAT was 12 years ago!!

check their portfolios! ping!
Michael Mann (Mr Stick with a graph predicting runaway warming) sued Mark Steyn for defamation because Steyn mocked Mann’s AGW false narrative. The case has been dragging on for several years.
The AGW people are trying to use lawfare to silence critics (they call us “deniers”).
The global warming scam was a fraud started with lies:

Thanks, I’ve never heard or read of that Lawsuit. That’s why the question mark animation
If Hillary had won and kept stocking the US Courts with her type of Judges, this would have been a winning strategy for these people & cities. MAGA puts this in jeopardy, whew!
The Wikipedia article is heavily biased in favor of Mann, using Mann’s later articles as evidence that Mann was correct.
Mann simply repeats the same errors he made the first time, over and over, and claims that proves he was correct.
Love the list!
The minor problem is that they have to prove all of this. They have to give the defendants their evidence during discovery. That would include the original data sets that support their claims and that brings us to Michael Mann and the hockey stick.
OTOH, it's just as likely that the oil industry will just settle like the tobacco industry settled. Maybe $100 billion over 20 years and a guarantee never to be sued again will sound good to big oil.
OK!! Everybody pay attention!
Lesson for today:
1. The sun is 1,300,000 times as big as the earth.
2. The sun is a giant nuclear furnace that controls the climates of all its planets.
3. The earth is one of the sun’s planets.
4. The earth is a speck in comparison to the size of the sun.
5. Inhabitants of the earth are less than specks.
Study Question: How do less-than-specks in congress plan to control the sun?
“Compare that to Marin County, whose court pleadings assert a 99% risk of catastrophic storm surges and flooding, because of oil and gas combustion. San Mateo County cites a 93% likelihood of climate-related surges, floods and sewer overflows. San Francisco claims an “imminent risk of catastrophic storm surges.”
But SF’s 2017 municipal bond offering downplayed the risks, saying it is “unable to predict whether sea-level rise or other impacts of climate change or flooding will occur.” Marin and San Mateo made similar statements to current and prospective bond investors. Ditto for other litigants and climate chaos claims. “
I’m curious if the author actually researched these bond offerings and court filings himself. If he did, that’s one of the best examples of actual, insightful, research driven journalism I have seen in years.
If he learned about that dichotomy from some other article he is remiss (to say the least) in not citing his source.
OK!! Everybody pay attention!
Lesson for today:
1. The sun is 1,300,000 times as big as the earth.
2. The sun is a giant nuclear furnace that controls the climates of all its planets.
That’s not correct at all. The sun controls the amount of heat reaching the planets and the moons. The interaction of the sun’s heat with the atmosphere of the planets controls the climate. The moon is even more of a spec but it has no atmosphere to speak of so it is freezing.
You won’t defeat any global warming theory with this faulty line of reasoning. Rather you need to show that the amount of carbon dioxide at issue is insignificant in proportion to the overall atmosphere of the Earth, which it is. They try to resolve that problem by arguing a feedback effect with water vapor (because water vapor really does have a significant impact on heat capture and hence climate) but their model for this feedback effect is faulty. That’s what you need to argue, not how big the sun is.
Your 3rd sentence sums it up nicely.
