Waiting for Climate Change Zombies to explain to me how an oil company getting sued will stop
Climate Change.
Waiting for Climate Change Zealots to explain to me how admitting that Climate Change is partly man-caused
confirms anything else about Climate Change, such as when we are all going to die, what we can do about it if anything, how giving tax credits to rich people to buy Teslas changes anything . . .
Is that your way of saying you agree that it is “extremely likely” that humans are contributing to the warming of the planet, and that you agree there is a scientific consensus on that point?
And the consensus disappears when it comes to all the other important points, such as:
1. How much the oceans will rise.
2. How soon it will happen.
3. Why all the computer models have been inaccurate so far.
4. Whether the climate is sensitive enough to man’s activity to actually allow us to make a positive difference.
And a whole host of other outstanding questions: no consensus.
Regardless of your thoughts on climate change, does anyone else find this statement as disturbing as I do: “The companies argued in legal filings on Tuesday that the case should be dismissed, partly because Congress has given regulatory agencies, not the courts, authority over the production and emission of fossil fuels.” Excuse me? Did someone just say that congress has the power to deny our judicial branch authority to hear a case? If congress did such a thing, they are guilty of injury to separation of powers. I feel like I’ve complained about this before, but this is frigg’n scary.
What is scary is using the courts to punish fossil fuel companies for no apparent reason.
You lefties think suing everything that moves is some kind of progress. In fact, it is absolutely ridiculous and raises the cost of everything for poor and middle class people. How else do you think corporations pay for lawsuits, the Tooth Fairy? They have to raise prices. Duh.
Think for 2 seconds: even if Chevron and Exxon tried to mislead the public on Climate Change, so what? Who cares? Who would listen? Who would change their behavior even in the slightest? No one.
And if you think the cost of all this frivolous litigation isn’t paid for by you and me – along with everyone else – you aren’t thinking.
First off, not a leftie. Second, maybe you should have read my post for what it was instead of criticizing what you THINK I was implying. I wasn’t. My comment stands as I wrote it. I refuse to clarify myself for the benefit of someone stuck in a pig-headed, “us vs them” mindset. You’re as bad as the “lefties.”
Waiting for Climate Change Deniers to post on this comment thread…..
