In the meantime, every business that uses energy to produce goods, foods, or services (including energy itself) to NY needs to boycott the state altogether.

New York Attorney General Letitia James is suing JBS USA, the world's largest producer of beef, over the company's emissions and for "greenwashing" by allegedly misleading the public about its environmental impact.
In an announcement, James noted that beef production has the largest greenhouse gas footprint of any major food commodity and that animal agriculture accounts for 14.5% of global greenhouse gas emissions. According to James, JBS USA's various net-zero pledges for 2030 and 2040 are therefore misleading and "not feasible" given the scope of its worldwide beef production operations.
"As families continue to face the daily impacts of the climate crisis, they are willing to spend more of their hard-earned money on products from brands that are better for the environment," James said in a statement. "When companies falsely advertise their commitment to sustainability, they are misleading consumers and endangering our planet."
"JBS USA’s greenwashing exploits the pocketbooks of everyday Americans and the promise of a healthy planet for future generations," she added. "My office will always ensure that companies do not abuse the environment and the trust of hardworking consumers for profit."
The lawsuit was applauded by state Democrats and national climate advocacy organizations like Earthjustice, Mighty Earth, Friends of the Earth US, Citizens Campaign for the Environment and Stand.earth.
"JBS repeatedly claims that it will reach net zero by 2040. This claim was found to be misleading and yet JBS continues to assert it," said Peter Lehner, an attorney at Earthjustice. "While it is critical for every company to reduce its climate change impact, JBS would need to implement enormous operational changes to achieve this goal. However, JBS is doing very little and is not taking anywhere close to the steps that would be required."

Doesn’t the moronic AG have something better to do? She’s dangerous and JBS should stop delivering beef to NY state.
She’s going after the people and businesses that Deep State tells her to target.
That’s why they installed her.
More proof that people and business need to abandon that leftist state.
and grazing prevents blazing
minimizes wildfire damage
because we are the carbon they want to eliminate
she is consistent
Judging by Latitia’s weight, she overeats and probably puts out more methane than a herd of cows.
What is that stupid COW up to now?
This woman is a moron and a menace. A dangerous combination…
Note to JBS: Pull out of NY State. That will drive the price of beef up there and lower the price of beef in the rest of the nation. They elected her. Let them eat sh!t!
JBS needs to do everything they can to mitigate any future damages as a result of this lawsuit and STOP ALL SALES AND DELIVERIES TO NEW YORK.
And so it begins……..
Don’t confuse with facts.
In the meantime, every business that uses energy to produce goods, foods, or services (including energy itself) to NY needs to boycott the state altogether.
Beef just found out who is next.
“..another waste of tax-payer money...”
NY democrat voters love it! Can’t wait to reelect it.
Buffalo essentially did the same thing when they roamed the prairies for thousands of years.
“As families continue to face the daily impacts of the climate crisis”
Said without having to provide any substantive proof of anything, including the specific ‘families’ involved.
It’s just hyperbole.
