The state of California is suing five big oil companies and the trade group that represents them for decades-long deception about the correlation between fossil fuel production and climate change.

The lawsuit was filed on Friday by the California Attorney General in San Francisco superior court.

California’s complaint joins a wave of climate litigation nationwide but could further open the legal floodgates on climate action against oil firms.

Those companies need to shut down all operations sending fossil fuel products to Cauliphonya.

Absolutely withdraw from California immediately. Abandon equipment in place and move all operations and administration out of the left coast and into carbon-friendly states. Would love to see how far gas prices skyrocket there.

Newsom also has been cavorting around with the Chi-Coms the last few days over ‘climate issues’. The same PRC that belches thousands of metric tons of fly ash into the atmosphere each day from thousands of dirty unscrubbed coal fired powerplants that dot their nation like freckles on a ginger kid.

California jury, California judge.
Not exactly a neutral venue.

Look who’s talking.

The only deception about climate change is from the left and WEF.

More pure projection by the Left.

That's all the left knows how to do.

Apparently you don’t have to prove harm to litigate.

You know California is in trouble when they start suing oil companies after bankrupting PG&E. Once the communists slam the door shut on energy, shelter and food the state is merely an open air prison forcing their slaves to work for their government scraps.

It’s never worked but it isn’t stopping Sacramento( BTW anyone know where all those train cars full of ammonium nitrate disappeared?

All oil companies should immediately suspend all operations in CA

That was my first thought as well. However, I could see California then hitting the oil companies with the antitrust laws.

I wish also that there would be a judge out there with enough common sense and courage to throw the case out with prejudice, award the companies huge court costs, and put severe sanctions on all the attorneys bringing this fairy tale lawsuit inside a courtroom.

Exactly.

If I were the CEO of any of those companies I would issue a cease and desist order and shut down all operations and leave that perverted state to stew in their own filth.

Discovery could totally rock the climate change establishment. Let’s have open courtroom discussions of the methodology for climate modeling. Let’s have people state, under oath, how much data has been manipulated and cut from current models to ‘make the data fit’. Have them state, under oath, whether or not they’ve suppressed contrary data. Subpoena all the raw data.
