LOS ANGELES, Calif. — As Californians grapple with the aftermath of devastating wildfires, a pressing question looms: Who will bear the financial burden of rebuilding the Los Angeles area? While some point to politicians, others are calling for fossil fuel producers to be held accountable.
Christina Scaringe, California Climate Policy Director for the Center for Biological Diversity's Climate Law Institute based in Sacramento, said they are working on a climate superfund bill aimed at holding major fossil fuel companies responsible for their climate impacts.... ...Scaringe emphasized that the bill is about fairness and affordability for Californians. ....The proposed climate superfund bill would task the California Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) with identifying major fossil fuel companies operating in the state, such as Chevron and Exxon, although they say specific companies are not going to be named in the legislation. The California EPA would then conduct a comprehensive study on the costs of climate impacts to the state.

Texas needs to considering a climate fraud superfund bill to hold California and environmental groups accountable for the trillions of dollars in damage they have inflicted on Americans with their lies.
Sue Rosneft and Aramco.
See how far you’ll get with that.
Just when you think California’s government couldn’t get it any more FUBAR they prove you wrong.

hijacking bizerkers.
New York just passed a law holding Big Oil responsible for climate change. Didn’t even have to prove it.
But yeah, blame Exxon. And Trump.
oil companies should pull out of california, and refuse to send any oil there-
From your keyboard to the CEOs desk for approval.
So you’ll raise costs to the oil companies, who will raise their prices to pay for it. When will Americans learn the single, fundamental truth that governments and businesses have no money that does not come from taxpayers and consumers?

MILESTONES
The Center’s climate program has:
• Won the first Endangered Species Act listing for global warming-threatened species — the staghorn and elkhorn corals found off the Florida coast.
• Forced the George W. Bush administration to publicly acknowledge for the first time, in 2006, the scientific connection between greenhouse gas emissions and species endangerment in response to our petition to gain Endangered Species Act protection for polar bears.
• Won a key 2007 victory on greenhouse gas vehicle emissions when the nation’s highest court sided with our coalition and struck down the Environmental Protection Agency’s refusal to regulate carbon dioxide as a pollutant under the Clean Air Act.
• In 2007 won a landmark case challenging federal suppression of climate science. Under the Global Change Research Act of 1990, we argued that the Bush administration must complete a research plan and scientific assessment of climate change impacts in the United States. The court agreed, ordering the government to produce the overdue reports by May 2008.
• Won a key 2008 legal victory requiring the Department of Transportation to fully analyze climate change when setting fuel economy standards for the nation’s passenger car fleet, and to factor the economic cost of climate damage (“social cost of carbon”) when using an economic model to set the standard.
• Won an ongoing moratorium on federal oil and gas leasing in California in 2011 and through additional legal victories.
• Along with Californians Against Fracking and many local partners, banned fracking in numerous California communities while building momentum for a statewide ban.
• Overturned the EPA’s free pass to the biomass energy industry in a key 2013 legal victory.
• Pioneered the need for greenhouse gas analysis in California Environmental Quality Act reviews and won a 2015 California Supreme Court victory setting out the need for meaningful analysis and mitigation.
• Filed the petition and lawsuits that led to the EPA’s landmark 2016 finding under the Clean Air Act that greenhouse pollution from airplanes endangers our health and climate.
• Along with 350.org, petitioned the EPA to set a national, science-based pollution cap of 350 ppm for CO2 under the Clean Air Act.
• Slapped down the Trump administration’s attempt to suppress an important national scientific review of the state of the climate.

Stop the sales of stupid pills to CA immediately!
Don't forget Sinopec. Aramco and Sinopec are the largest (by revenue), followed by ExxonMobil.
You would think that a dose if hellfire would have taught Newsom, Schiff, etc a lesson, but they’re hooked on power and laundered money. Apparently, there’s no hope for them. Cut off their fed funds because their policies are destructive and America cannot afford them anymore.
This woman Scaringe sounds like a larcenous psychopath. Oil and gas companies have had zero to do with the wild fires, yet she wants to loot them to make them pay for rebuilding? Presumably the courts will treat this with the derision it deserves but, in California who knows.
CA figuring out ways to encourage businesses and residents to leave their liberal state.
