These are the Morons Who are Running Climate with Our Government

[Terrel L. Shields]

Dems are catching on that the voters are not buying their Chicken Little Doomsday scenarios of climate.

Democrats (well, some of them) are suddenly recognizing the message of November’s victories by Donald Trump and other Republicans. First, that voters are deeply skeptical of a pricey (and likely futile) war on climate at their expense.​

​

Second, that those victories will make it harder still to achieve the greenies’ fanciful agenda. Hmm: With luck, the entire climate agenda might just collapse, saving Americans billions and bolstering energy security across the nation. “The public is exhausted,” admits Assemblyman John McDonald (D-Albany). “They don’t want to see their bills go up. We have to be sensitive to that.” McDonald also stressed the need “to be realistic that we’re not going to have a federal partner.”​

​

Gov. Kathy Hochul, too, has delayed her plan for a “cap-and-invest” tax on fossil-fuel corporations, knowing the costs would be passed to consumers, conflicting with her 2026 reelection focus on “affordability.”​

Remember just a few years ago we only had 12 years to extinction....AOC !

When they tell you somewhere is going to be underwater next year, but property prices are going up.

Of course its never next year, its a distant time, but close enough to scare people.

New Jersey and New York City each sued a bunch of oil companies claiming they misled the public. Judges in both states have dismissed the suits - too bad, how sad...

The climate change movement was issued a massive blow on Wednesday after a trial judge permanently closed a Democrat-charged lawsuit claiming that big oil was to blame for climate-caused damages in the state.​

​

In 2022, New Jersey Attorney General Matthew Platkin filed a lawsuit against the country's largest oil companies, ExxonMobil, Chevron, ConocoPhillips, Phillips 66, Shell, as well as the American Petroleum Institute, claiming that the fossil fuel industry was worsening the effects of climate change, and therefore, causing damage to the state.​

​

However, the case was tossed out on Wednesday by New Jersey Superior Court Judge Douglas Hurd, who ruled that lawful oil companies could not be held liable for worldwide emissions. The case was dismissed with prejudice, meaning it cannot be reopened.​

Meanwhile in NY City

The city of New York filed a lawsuit against Exxon Mobil, Shell, and BP — along with trade association the American Petroleum Institute — alleging that the companies misrepresented the environmental benefits of dirty energy and failed to disclose the associated climate risks.​

​

On Jan. 15, state Supreme Court Justice Anar Patel struck down those claims, ruling that the city couldn't argue its 8.3 million residents were climate-conscious of "publicly known information" and then say the dirty energy companies deceived them with ad campaigns.​

​

"The City cannot have it both ways," Patel wrote, adding that the alleged greenwashing statements — such as Exxon's claim that its fuels are "created to let you drive cleaner, smarter and longer" — "have been taken out of context" and are merely "aspiration, opinion, or puffery."​
