And the lawyers are the only ones to get rich...

The de Blasio administration has filed a federal lawsuit against a handful of major oil companies for their role in climate change and its impact on New York City — particularly in the wake of Superstorm Sandy, city officials said Wednesday.

That includes seeking reparations for damage and for the sky-high costs of building up the city’s resiliency for future mega-storms.

“The city seeks to shift the costs of protecting the city from climate change impacts back onto the companies that have done nearly all they could to create this existential threat,” reads the lawsuit, which was filed in the Southern District of New York.

The mayor is also calling on the various pension funds for the city to totally divest any ownership in the oil companies named in the suit...

Holy shit.

If I was an oil company I wouldnt let NYC sue me.

Not now, not ever. And I would pull ALL of my products out of that city while the lawsuit was going on. ALL OF THEM.

Exxon is fighting back against this. Going after the cities for failing to disclose these claimed risks to investors when they issue municipal bonds.


Exxon Prepares To Sue California Cities, Says They Contradict Themselves On Climate Change

Some government officials in California are hypocrites pushing a political agenda that involves using private lawyers to sue and demonize ExxonMobil, the company is now arguing in a Texas state court.

On Jan. 8, Exxon took the first step towards suing those who orchestrated climate change lawsuits in California by asking the Tarrant County District Court to allow it to question an assortment of government officials and a Hagens Berman lawyer. The company says those local officials are talking out of both sides of their mouths - blaming Exxon for an impending flooding disaster while not disclosing that alleged threat to possible investors in their bond offerings.

That's what I thought. Wish I would have thought of it. Could have bought some bonds and then sued for fraud. Now every shyster lawyer will be doing it.

Green stuff...you know. Nu..oH. that is right. NYC and Cali and the rest of the dummies. No more Nuclear......





I would bet those lights were back up batteries from wind power that killed 7 or 8 thousand bats or some solar panels that killed 20 or 30 million bees......
