What’s next? Is the Biden-Harris regime going to hold Luke liable for destroying the Death Star? Now that we’re holding people liable for fictions, the sky’s the limit, right? The Biden-Harris White House, as vengeful as Hitler when he ordered his rapidly repeating troops to burn Paris and destroy infrastructure all over France, is determined to leave the nation and the world in as chaotic a situation as possible as Donald Trump prepares to return to the White House. Now Merrick Garland’s awesomely corrupt and politicized “Justice” department is trying to force some of the largest oil companies in the land to pony up some yuge money to make up for all they’ve done to make the weather change. Yes, really.
It’s kind of like having to pay for causing distress to Bigfoot, but in this case, it’s Big Oil’s massive carbon footprint. The Washington Free Beacon reported Thursday that Garland’s vicious DoJ “quietly weighed in on litigation pending before the Supreme Court this week, siding with liberal cities and states that are seeking to force the nation’s largest oil companies to pay billions of dollars in damages for global warming.” Now, the first thing to bear in mind about this is that it’s tantamount to demanding that the oil companies pay billions for hurting the feelings of the imaginary six-foot-tall rabbit that goes with you everywhere.
Dr. Roy Spencer, who is an actual scientist and a leading skeptic regarding the left’s climate change mythology, disputes the central premise of this demand: the idea that the earth is hotter now than it has ever been and that it’s the fault of human activity. He explains:
Since there is so much year-to-year (and even decade-to-decade) variability in global average temperatures, whether it has warmed or cooled depends upon how far back you look in time. For instance, over the last 100 years, there was an overall warming which was stronger toward the end of the 20th Century. This is why some say “warming is accelerating.” But if we look at a shorter, more recent period of time, say since the record warm year of 1998, one could say that it has cooled in the last 10-12 years. But, as I mentioned above, neither of these can tell us anything about whether warming is happening “now,” or will happen in the future.
Heedless of reality, however, and sticking firmly to the left’s climate dogmas and fantasies, Biden-Harris Solicitor General Elizabeth Prelogar “filed briefs this week in two related cases: one brought by Honolulu officials in 2020 and another filed by Alabama and 18 other GOP-led states that are asking the court to block litigation against oil companies in California, Connecticut, Minnesota, New Jersey, and Rhode Island.”
There is more. Read the rest here.

Global warming: a false narrative to rape a nation, businesses and economy. There is no such thing as global warming, the world runs on oil and natural gas, not on wind turbines that need fuel to operate.
Thomas Black says
The cities and states are free to require that their jurisdictions stop or greatly reduce using fuel oil. The federal government could require it for the entire country. They do not, and neither do other countries, because they know it would cause chaos. In fact, Biden tried to get Saudi Arabia and the UAE to increase oil production.
If the warmists were serious about reducing greenhouse gas emissions (which promote plant growth!), they would push for an end to global population growth. Even if they could slash the average emissions/person (at great expense), it would not stop the emissions from population growth.
Their short-sighted approach will not solve other problems related to population growth, such as an increase in conventional forms of pollution and competition, even war, for “living space”, water, and other natural resources.

All of this will end on the 20th of January, 2025.

Precisely! These cretins are starting something at the executive level, blissfully unaware that it will be reversed in a month

If they can do this, or sue gun manufacturers for the acts of criminals, then why can’t we sue the NGOs over the crimes committed by illegals?
Why not hold all the politicians who opened our borders accountable for the crime and destruction their policies and actions have caused?
Time to fight fire with fire.
Andrew Blackadder says
Heads up folks, here are the four main reasons for the climate change we see today.
1) Spring.
2) Summer.
3) Autumn.
4) Winter.
Read this again slowing.
Pass it on..
A long long time ago ALL of Northern Europe was covered in ice but today all we have left is Iceland and Greenland and no humans or Cars were around at that time…. Weird that huh ?.
