Once again, I’d like to see the oil companies at least put out statements that say “if the government of the People’s Republik Of California thinks fossil fuels are so bad, why are they using so much of it? Why is the governor, his staff, the appointed agency heads, and the elected lawmakers constantly traveling around in fossil fueled vehicles and airplanes?” Along with refusing to sell their product to the PRC government, because, why would you do business with anyone suing you?
California sues oil companies for allegedly lying about climate change
California filed a lawsuit Friday against five of the world’s largest oil companies, alleging that they lied to the public about the damage their product is causing. The state wants the companies to pay into a fund that would support recovery from climate change-related extreme weather events like heavy storms and wildfires.
“For more than 50 years, Big Oil has been lying to us — covering up the fact that they’ve long known how dangerous the fossil fuels they produce are for our planet,” California Gov. Newsom, a Democrat, said in a statement on the suit. “California taxpayers shouldn’t have to foot the bill for billions of dollars in damages — wildfires wiping out entire communities, toxic smoke clogging our air, deadly heat waves, record-breaking droughts parching our wells.”
Except, almost every single one of those wildfires were set intentionally or by accident by humans, not from any sort of ‘climate change’ driven Bad Weather, and when people keep building homes in areas that are prone to wildfires, well, that’s on them.
“This ongoing, coordinated campaign to wage meritless, politicized lawsuits against a foundational American industry and its workers is nothing more than a distraction from important national conversations and an enormous waste of California taxpayer resources,” Ryan Meyers, senior vice president of the American Petroleum Institute (API), an industry group also named as a defendant, said in a statement.
Stop. Go hardball, not these squishy messages. Tell the people of California if they do not like fossil fuels the companies can take all their business, all their jobs, all that tax revenue, and all the gas and oil for their cars elsewhere. Ask them how they will get to work, the store, the beach, vacations.
