    In a major victory for efforts to hold fossil fuel companies accountable
    for the costs of climate change, a Hawai‘i state court has rejected
    three separate motions to dismiss a lawsuit from the City and County of Honolulu that seeks to make eight major oil and gas companies pay for
    climate damages the polluters knowingly caused.

    The rulings mark the first time that public nuisance and other tort
    claims to hold oil companies accountable for the costs of climate change
    have reached and survived motions to dismiss.

    What this means is that the Hawaii state courts did NOT dismiss this
    BULLSHIT HARASSMENT LAWSUIT by the city of Honolulu on the basis that it
    has no merit and violates "anti-SLAPP" laws. In short, oil companies to
    not have to say what environmentalist WACK JOBS insist they "admit" to.

    In recent weeks, Hawai‘i First District Judge Jeffrey P. Crabtree
    rejected three motions that oil majors filed to dismiss the lawsuit —
    for failure to state a claim, lack of personal jurisdiction, and one in
    which Chevron argued that Honolulu’s lawsuit violated anti-SLAPP laws
    and therefore the company’s First Amendment rights.

    The article itself only is useful (to me) to illustratel that THIS TRIAL
    IS ACTUALLY GOING FORWARD. Can you believe this shit?


    OK - the oil companies have a GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY to PUT THIS SHIT TO
    REST FOREVER.

    They need to *ATTACK* the BULLSHIT CLAIMS of "man made climate change".
    This means CO2. The infrared absorption spectrum of CO2 does NOT significantly include frequencies that would retain heat on the planet,
    it is AT EQUILIBRIUM because of PLANTS and RAIN, and is only 0.04% of
    the atmosphere. WATER is (my estimate) about 100 times MORE effective
    and it varies so much that controlling it is IMPOSSIBLE


    CO2 is a LOUSY GREENHOUSE GAS on Earth. Mars and Venus, it does what
    you expect. But for temperatures between about -50F (or C for that
    matter) and about 140F (or so), infrared energies associated with black
    body radiation are *barely* impeded by CO2. As such, there is NO
    effective thermal blanketing effect.

    Therefore, CO2 from fossil fuel burning is *NOT* causing ANY kind of
    "climate change". **PERIOD**

    IF THIS IS NOT A PART OF THEIR DEFENSE THEN OIL COMPANIE ARE LOSING THE OPPORTUNITY TO PUT THIS CLIMATE CHANGE BULLSHIT INTO ITS PLACE AND
    RE-ESTABLISH THEIR PRODUCT AS THE EXCELLENT ENERGY SOURCE IT IS!!!


    (This world is FILLED with FOOLS, and some of them run Honolulu and file BULLSHIT LAWSUITS like this... Fucking MORONS!)
