Good!
Prove in court that the notion of man-made climate change is a hoax.

I look forward to the governments being denied access to gas, heating oil, and any electricity for their buildings.

Let Honolulu furnish the proof as to what caused the “climate change.....or pound sand for the money they want.

A good lawyer for the energy industry can work up a good counter-claim to make these cities pay for all the benefits they have received from having access to fossil fuels for the last 100+ years.
If nothing else, just get the plaintiffs into a deposition and ask them why they haven't outlawed fossil fuels entirely.

There are lawyers who’s whole career is built around this industry shakedown case. They made billions from their share of the Big Tobacco settlement.
It’s a story of litigation nationally that’s been in the works for years.

Houston’s flooding is caused by them building houses in the floodplain and pouring so much concrete around the floodplain it floods worse than it would have 50 years ago.

Out of concern, petroleum companies should stop shipping gas to cities until the case go through court. F’em!

All they need is a fellow traveller judge presiding in ordee to survive demurrers and motions for summary judgment and to deny pretrial motions to exclude fake science “experts”
The jury pool has already made up their minds.

Now the same greedy, devil may care gang is behind these opioid suits as well. These people are a blight on the justice system, always looking for one more gravy train.

Then stop shipping any hydrocarbon products to Hawaii. Let them get back to nature.

First of all, what is a ‘resilience officer’? Some cockamamie title bestowed on a career bureaucrat deadbeat? I used to have the same idealistic mental picture of Hawaii as a lot of people. Now I realize that the only way that’ll ever come to pass will be if a monster tsunami hits the island chain and scours it clean of all the leftist buttplugs that run it.

OK, then cut off all fossil fuel shipments to Honolulu until the lawsuit is withdrawn or settled.
