It should be remembered that the lead attorney for the tobacco case has said the case was never about injury, it was about getting a settlement. It was about money, and had nothing to do with consumer protection or truth.

Scale of climate damages ‘could dwarf tobacco lawsuits’
As ExxonMobil case divides US top lawyers, campaigners advise governments to take on fossil fuel interests or face court themselvesGovernments will face rising demands for climate compensation unless they crack down on coal, oil and gas companies operating within their authority

Warmists have set a standard where nothing can disprove their pet theory, because everything is blamed on their pet theory.
Strangely, so many of these Warmists refuse to give up their own use of fossil fuels.
