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.

Lahaina was a disaster beyond question but only a small portion of Maui.
Q: Why is it no one seems to care about China’s industrial effects on climate change?
A: Because China is ALREADY a communist country!
Nope,,,,there is no letter T in the Hawaiian language .

It never gets cold there, and they have an ocean to cool off in. 🤣
I’ve been waiting forever for enviro weenies to make a winning case against CO2.
Finally !
...which also explains the warm Atlantic
Yes, that, too.
“Well the oil companies should just stop selling oil to Hawaii.”
Been saying that for years. And not just Hawaii. California, too.

The first thing in response to this should be to stop selling and shipping ALL jet fuel to any distributors in Hawaii. Jet airliners could not then be refueled in Hawaii and tourism there would collapse overnight as airlines would have to cancel all flights to those islands.
Let’s see how Hawaii survives without jet fuel...f’ing idiots !
That quote is from Hawaii, not SCOTUS.
Hawaii should sue the EPA as
they’re the agency deligated
to governing the amount of
emissions being released into
the atnosphere.
The oil companies can just add those billions on to the price of oil and gas delivered just to Hawaii.
“Well the oil companies should just stop selling oil to Hawaii.”
Better yet, give it to the Japanese and let them worry about it. We’d get rid of two filthy senators and the house members that go with it.
Is there any info on how much CO2 is being released from the volcano and sea vents in Hawaii that are burning up the planet? /s
The EPA should be dissolved and climate scientists should be be defunded. Climate Cultist should be exterminated along with the covid cultist although the latter is slowly dying anyway.

Yep. It would be a shame since 77.4% of power generation in the state is burning some form of fuel oil.
This is meant to be a backdoor tax on consumers, no different from what they did with cigarettes - the crap has to be stopped.
SAVE PANGEA!
In order to prove something as a scientific fact, you need to go through the scientific method. Part of that includes doing experimentation, so what experiments have the anthro-climate change proponents done on any scale to prove their point?
The stupidity that reasons that humans can “fix” so-called “climate change” never ceases to amaze me.
Al Gore truly came up with one of the greatest scams ever.
