Thirty Five years of spreading awareness and they cannot convince everyone to give up their modern lives, elected lawmakers mostly won’t go as far as they want, so, the climastrologers will sue to force compliance
Ask A Scientist: How Can Scientists Drive Change Through Climate Lawsuits?
As the climate crisis deepens, so does the urgency to hold fossil fuel companies accountable for decades of deception. Governments representing more than a quarter of the US population have filed lawsuits against major corporations including ExxonMobil, Chevron, Shell, and BP, seeking justice for the harm caused by their lies about the dangers of their products. And especially on the cusp of a new Presidential administration that has vowed to support the fossil fuel industry and nominated appointees with a blatant disregard for science, the courts will become an integral arena to advance climate justice—and a pivotal space for scientists of all disciplines to make an impact.
These lawsuits hinge on the best available science to uncover the truth and inform the courts. UCS is already working with social scientists and economists, civil engineers and health practitioners who can bring extensive expertise to multi-faceted litigation. As the fossil fuel industry spares no expense to obscure these truths, the work of scientists who engage with climate litigation is increasingly vital. They bring clarity, evidence, and credibility to a high-stakes fight where lives—and the planet—are on the line.
In other words “our arguments that Mankind is evil and has caused a slight uptick in global temperatures has failed in the public domain. Henceforth we will try to get courts to force you peasants to comply. Us? Hell no, we need fossil fuels to travel to climate conferences.” Going much deeper into this article
AAS: First and foremost, like many of our readers, you are a researcher. Can you tell us a little more about those existing gaps in current scientific research that, if addressed, could further support climate litigation?
DM: As a researcher, I see significant opportunities for science to further inform climate litigation by addressing critical gaps. Our recent report on research areas for climate litigation highlights several key needs. For instance, attribution science remains a priority—establishing causal links between emissions, climate impacts, and specific events is essential for many cases. However, there’s a pressing need to expand this research to underrepresented regions, particularly in the Global South, where baseline data is often lacking. Developing new methods to suit these contexts can help ensure justice is accessible to all communities impacted by climate change.
In other words, they really do not know if there are rock solid links between Other People using fossil fuels and the slight uptick in temperatures since 1850. Mind you, this is from the Union Of Concerned Scientists, who never tell us how they made their own lives carbon neutral.
AAS: And I’ll close with this: it’s a new year, a fresh start, and folks are making resolutions. What is something concrete that you’re working on?
DM: This year, I’m focusing on communicating the value and potential impact of scientists informing climate litigation. It’s crucial for scientists to understand that this work is about ensuring that courts have access to accurate, robust evidence to make informed decisions. Upholding the integrity of our research while making it actionable is essential to bridging the gap between science and justice.
What evidence? He just said that there are no rock solid, scientific links, essentially, just supposition from a doomsday cult.
Perfect example of the “scientific method” in action. Lawsuits in lieu of data…
Mr TEACH typed:
Of course, the scientists didn’t say this, Mr TEACH did.
A suit for damages is a perfectly legal and appropriate action. Big Donnie has filed THOUSANDS of lawsuits. When he couldn’t win the 2020 election with lawsuits he resorted to violence. The evidence proving Big Donnie’s culpability for The Real Steal was just released, although Donnie sued to keep it hidden. He should be in prison, instead he’ll reoccupy the White House. Only in America! And Russia. And China. Belarus. Turkey. Hungary.
Whining loser.
Go change your diapers, fat boy.
He didn’t resort to any violence at all, now did he? But please, fill us in..
Commandant Donnie sent his brownshirts to the Capitol on Jan 6 2021. “If you don’t fight like hell you won’t have a country any more!”, and on and on.
If Fat Donnie hadn’t “won” the election he’d be defending himself in court. Again. Be sure and read Jack Smith’s report that was just released.
Fat Donnie should be in prison, not our White House.
Boo Fucking Hoo loser.
This Elwood douchebag is the middle joint in a human centipede.
The closer the inauguration gets, the more shrill and unhinged the opposition gets.
You poor boyz, LOL.
Speaking of human centipedes… drowningpippies <-BroJohn <-fp… have fun boyz!
If it wasn’t for The Pirates Cove, Rimjob wouldn’t get any attention at all.
Laugh now, ED. Trump as President again will be your personal nightmare, an absolute terror from which you won’t be able to wake for four long, agonizing years.
While you’re screaming, we’ll be LOLing.
Nice try-he’s obviously the first politician to say “we must fight”, right? Good catch, professor! Also, “protest peacefully and patriotically” and later “go home”. So in other words you still have nothing, surprise.
One has to love the libs double standards, though. “Brownshirts” when entering the Capital, “mostly peaceful protesters” when burning down buildings. Got it
Another classic, but it’s real life.
Los Angeles County Public Health just announced: “Please do not wear cloth or paper masks-they don’t filter out fine particles or ash”. Ok
Pete Hegseth’s Confirmation Hearing for Secretary of Defense – January 14, 2025 – FULL VIDEO

Speaking of Republicun shitfuckery… Congressional Repubes are insisting on “strings” for any federal aid to Californians. Sen Tumorville, Rep Byron Donalds, etc. Hey, Republicunts, did you demand “strings” for Texas, Florida, North Carolina and Kentuck??? Yeah, that…
Republicunt Shitfuckery 2 from Marjorie Taylor Green, of course: Since the Dems control the weather, sending hurricanes to red states, why dont they cause rain in California? MTG had previously blamed CA wildfires on Jewish Space Lasers.
Not a very original thought, Rimjob.
Only heard about the “strings” thingy about a thousand times today.
Your White Christian wife might want to adjust your meds. Your language has become filthier than usual.
Bwaha! Lolgfy Loser!
MAGA47 – 6 More Days Motherfucker!
Best questions of the day:
Bwaha! Lolgfy Loony Losers!
MAGA47 – SIX MORE DAYS
I didn’t know that much about Hegseth, but since Jeff hates him so much, he Must be pretty good. The Democrats don’t send out their flying monkey brigade for just anyone.
Anyone who suggests we give California 250-300 billion dollars for anything without oversight and severe strings is crazy.
Newsome can’t even account for 20 billion that was supposed to go to the Homeless. Homelessness is now worse in Cali, and the money is GONE.
Three hundred billion to Cali would build 10 middle-class houses and all the Beverly Hills crowd and all those who suck Newsome’s dick. The rest of it would end up in offshore bank accounts and the fear is that Black Rock and others will swoop in, buy up the land, and build high rises so that home ownership continues to plummet in the USA.
That much money to ANY STATE should come with huge oversight and competitive bidding at all costs.
I keep hearing how wealthy California is. They should pay for their own 300 billion.
