“We believe enough is enough,” said Santa Cruz County Supervisor Zach Friend,

Indeed he is correct, we must stop the importation and sale of all oil based products to California at once.

All they need is a scientist to produce a chart of human affect versus ONE volcanic eruption. Gonna be hard to subpoena Mother earth.

Even if one is worried about carbon dioxide, it’s not the oil companies that are generating it - it’s all the folks who are burning their product. No oil company is forcing anyone to combust a single molecule of gasoline, diesel or kerosene.

And if they’re bothered by the fact that the oil companies make money from selling their stuff, then they should be suing all levels of government - federal, state and local - who combined make more money out the sale of oil products than do the petroleum giants.

Oh..... one more thought

The oil companies, all of them should cease selling gasoline and diesel fuel in Santa Clara County immediately

Alternatively, the prices should be quintupled in Santa Clara county

So following the “anthropomorphic climate change” argument to its conclusion, how long before GHG emitting humans (specifically caucasians) are penalized or elimiated for crimes against the planet ?

OK. While filing your suit you may not use anything that is powered by fossil fuels or made out of them.

Two words: Proximate. Cause.

Unprovable. Because it doesn't exist.

Environmental wackos are responsible. Good forest management practices would prevent almost all these raging forest fires. The environmentalists would rather see huge swaths of timber go up in flame rather than protect them with good forest management practices

I would love to see these retards try to prove that global warming is real in court. The left-wing management of the oil companies will probably settle.

“Is santa cruze full of nitwits?”

Absolutely. The place is full of leftists. Brains installed backwards, and upside down.
