Supreme Court lets #Hawaii sue #OilCompanies over #ClimateChange effects

#SCOTUS won't answer 'recurring question of extraordinary importance' to #BigOil.

by Ashley Belanger – Jan 13, 2025

"On Monday, the Supreme Court declined to decide whether to block lawsuits that Honolulu filed to seek billions in damages from oil and gas companies over allegedly deceptive marketing campaigns that hid the effects of climate change.

"Now those lawsuits can proceed, surely frustrating the fossil fuel industry, which felt that SCOTUS should have weighed in on this key 'recurring question of extraordinary importance to the energy industry' raised in lawsuits seeking similarly high damages in several states, CBS News reported.

"Defendants #Sunoco and #Shell, along with 15 other energy companies, had asked the court to intervene and stop the Hawaii lawsuits from proceeding. They had hoped to move the cases out of Hawaii state courts by arguing that interstate pollution is governed by federal law and the Clean Air Act.

"The oil and gas companies continue to argue that greenhouse gas emissions 'flow from billions of daily choices, over more than a century, by governments, companies, and individuals about what types of fuels to use, and how to use them.' Because of this, the companies believe Honolulu was wrong to demand damages based on the "cumulative effect of worldwide emissions leading to global climate change."

The Killer #CEOs of #BigOil

Their fortunes are the result of poisoning you, me, our children and grandchildren, every other living thing on Earth, and destroying the temperature stability of our atmosphere. This week it's horrifying to look out and see the world they are creating for the rest of us.

by #ThomHartmann, Jan 11, 2025

"#PublicCitizen would like you to know that there are killers among us.

"They wear $2,000 suits and travel in #PrivateJets, unbothered by the TSA or the teeming masses. Their children attend the finest universities in the world, and they vacation on private islands and yachts. Many 'earn' more in a day than most Americans take home in a year; their positions ensure their heirs will never have to work a day in their lives.

"Their fortunes are the result of poisoning you, me, our children and grandchildren, every other living thing on Earth, and destroying the temperature stability of our atmosphere. This week they’re arguably responsible, in part, for billions of dollars in losses, numerous deaths, and thousands of shattered lives in Southern California."

#UKGovernment admits new #OilField approved unlawfully

James Cook
BBC Scotland editor
November 13, 2024

"The UK government has admitted in court that the country's largest untapped oilfield, #Rosebank off #Shetland, was approved unlawfully.

"The move came during a case brought by #ClimateCampaigners against both Rosebank and the #JackdaGasField in the #NorthSea.

"At the Court of Session in Edinburgh Chris Pirie KC, for the government, accepted that assessments did not include 'the effects on climate of the combustion of oil and gas to be extracted from the fields.'

"Rosebank was given the green light on 27 September 2023 and Jackdaw on 1 June 2022, both by the previous #Conservative administration.

"As part of the consenting process, the government was required to consider #EnvironmentalImpact assessments about the fields.

"These took into account the impact on #ClimateChange of emissions caused by the process of extracting oil and gas but not of #GreenhouseGases which would be released when the #FossilFuels were eventually burned."

[...]

"The firms involved — #Shell, #Equinor, and #IthacaEnergy — say they should be allowed to carry on with drilling because permission was granted in good faith under the law as it was understood at the time."

#BigOil firms knew of dire effects of #FossilFuels as early as 1950s, memos show

Newly unearthed documents contain warning from head of #AirPollutionFoundation, founded in 1953 by oil interests

"Major oil companies, including #Shell and precursors to energy giants #Chevron, #ExxonMobil and #BP, were alerted about the planet-warming effects of fossil fuels as early as 1954, newly unearthed documents show.

The warning, from the head of an industry-created group known as the Air Pollution Foundation, was revealed by Climate Investigations Center and published Tuesday by the climate website DeSmog. It represents what may be the earliest instance of big oil being informed of the potentially dire consequences of its products.

"'Every time there’s a push for #ClimateAction, [we see] fossil fuel companies downplay and deny the harms of burning fossil fuels,' said Rebecca John, a researcher at the Climate Investigations Center who uncovered the historic memos. 'Now we have evidence they were doing this way back in the 50s during these really early attempts to crack down on sources of pollution.'"
