SCOTUS Declines To Intervene In Hawaii Suit Against Fossil Fuels Companies
Did those companies understand if they want to win like the Chiefs they have to grease some palms?
Supreme Court declines to hear from oil and gas companies trying to block climate change lawsuits
The Supreme Court said Monday it won’t hear an appeal from oil and gas companies trying to block lawsuits seeking to hold the industry liable for billions of dollars in damage linked to climate change.
The order allows the city of Honolulu’s lawsuit against oil and gas companies to proceed. The city’s chief resilience officer, Ben Sullivan, said it’s a significant decision that will protect “taxpayers and communities from the immense costs and consequences of the climate crisis caused by the defendants’ misconduct.”
The oil and gas companies appealed to the Supreme Court after Hawaii’s highest court allowed the lawsuit to proceed. The companies include Sunoco, Shell, Chevron, Exxon Mobil and BP, many of which are headquartered in Texas. (snip)
The American Enterprise Institute, a conservative think tank, said declining to hear the Honolulu case now means the companies could face more lawsuits from activists trying to “make themselves the nation’s energy regulators.”
“I hope that the Court will hear the issue someday, for the sake of constitutional accountability and the public interest,” said Adam White, a senior fellow at the institute.
And they may well hear the case at a certain point, but, they look to be thinking to let the system work. Let the suits continue, and then let the appeals go through if necessary. And now the companies should stop selling their products in Honolulu, meaning no one one want to visit.
BTW, it’s tough finding good climate scam material, since almost everything seems to be about blaming ‘climate change’ for the LA area fires. But, again, I’m not touching it. I’ve done their blamestorming on other fires, on hurricanes, on thunderstorms, tornadoes, earthquakes, tsunamis, snow storms, and so much more, and, I just don’t have the wanting to deal with these wackos right now.

Ask yourself this. Who owns Shell, BP, Standard Oil, and Exxon? The inbred billionaire class of psychopaths. Just look who owns the most shares and who sits on the board of directors. Ok now understand that these are the people who call the shots world wide and have for the last 100 plus years. With a phone call they have nations invaded and destroyed. You don’t think they have reach into the Supreme Court? Hello! John Roberts was a frequent flier on the Lolita express. By the way and contrary to what you may have heard that list has been out forever. Unfortunately if you don’t have it blasted into your skulls 100 times a day you don’t pay any attention.
