Frivolous Climate Lawsuits Hit the Wall We’ve reported here previously on the frivolous lawsuits the climatistas brought in California courts against major oil companies, and especially how California cities claimed imminent harm from climate change while telling prospective bond buyers that they couldn’t estimate possible future risks from climate change. In any case, late today Federal district court judge William Alsop—a Bill Clinton appointee—dismissed the lawsuits with a strongly-worded opinion that is quite clear about how ridiculous these suits are. It does not dispute the conventional account of climate change at all. But it does say the lawsuit is preposterous. Some excerpts:
The point is, even if you are a convinced thermageddonite, trial lawyers aren’t going to save the planet. Of course, the famously nutty Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals could reverse this common sense finding, thus allowing for the Supreme Court to smack it down one more time. LINK Sometimes, not often, but sometimes, even left wingers use common sense. Just not often enough. |

The plaintiffs now expect the courts to legislate from the bench on virtually every phony idea they can dream up. Congress is not going to disrupt the global economy over unproven theories. |

What's that got to do with Climate Change? It's rock solid science, and the only reasons to doubt it are political. |

"The point is, even if you are a convinced thermageddonite, trial lawyers aren’t going to save the planet." But I give them a D- for trying. |
