The Supreme Court seemed to signal interest this week in taking up a challenge launched by Hawaii against big oil companies to hold them liable for climate change, and some Democrats are suggesting the high court is "captured" for the fossil fuel industry.
The Supreme Court on Monday asked the Justice Department to weigh in on a petition to hear a lawsuit brought by the City of Honolulu against major fuel companies including Sunoco, Exxon and Chevron, claiming the companies’ products cause greenhouse gas emissions and global warming without warning consumers about the risks.
The city employed a series of state laws like public nuisance and trespass measures and said the companies should pay billions to the state to abate the effects of climate change like weather events, sea level rise, heat waves, flooding and global warming generally.
The high court gave DOJ no deadline for the solicitor general’s input, but its request indicates a high likelihood the court wants to hear the case.

Fixed it!
Want to fix climate change? Here are some tips:
1. Those hills in California need to be cut down so air can freely circulate. The smog gets trapped between the hills and the air quality is reduced.
2. Clean up all the polluted rivers around the world. The Ganges is a cesspool and when the water evaporates, all the crap that’s part of the distillate rises into the air.
3. Create new fresh water resources from salt water and pipe it inland so new agriculture can take root. It will also improve hygiene. This creates new economies for agricultural products and the greenery will add O2 into the atmosphere.
All of this is cheaper and easily doable than the money grab the WEF is doing without any tangible results.
Want me to believe?
Show me the project plan with timeline and resources.
Show me the risk management and mitigation plan.
How much is the project going to cost?
Who is going to pay for it?
Who will be held accountable if the plan fails, as it will surely fail?
Answer those questions and I will listen. If not, then we will know as we already do that this is a hoax.
A distinction without a difference.
If Hawaii can sue the hydrocarbon industry for perceived ill effects, then we should be able to sue leftist governments for the damage they do to society.
details...details. Lol
Why is Hawaii a state? Can’t we sell it to say North Korea? All the leftists they elect there - like that lunatic Hirono would love it. Ship it off to the Dear leader Kim Jung Un and take Zuckerturd as well
This belongs in the Speculation Forum - not the Editorial one.
Expects say that it may be years before any definitive action will be taking place, if ever.
People IGNORE the warnings on tobacco products, so it’s high time that they be made ILLEGAL!!!
OK, but not NEARLY as melodious as:
Humuhumunukunukuapua`a!
Ok, why tell me about it?
Practically every day there’s an article of the day bashing the Supreme Court. This is only instituion unable to be totally captured by the beast power (globalists). They can do nothing about it so they are building up the notion that it’s compromised in order to either water it down by expanding it with liberal judges or outright ignoring rulings...as Biden did with the student loan payoffs.
This is to offset the daily blurb from ebb tide that bashes his current supervisor who resides in Vatican City.
I just don’t get the hate for oil companies. I have to wonder how the lives of these idiots would be improved right now without fossil fuels.
What exactly are your thoughts on the one who resides in Vatican City, Elsie?
Pro or Con?
Is it any of your business?
Not my monkey.
Fences put up around Supreme Court tonight.
You sure seem obsessed with that monkey when you cross-reference it so often.
Doe elsie have that monkey living in elsie’s mind, rent-free?
