Arrr, climate lawfare be clashin' with a mighty gale o' unexpected mischief, catchin' them liberal scallywags off-guard!
2025-02-10
Ahoy, mateys! While some landlubbers be makin' ruckus in the streets, others be settin' sail in the courts! Over two dozen legal battles be waged to shake the scallywags of the energy trade. Aye, they be tryin' to hoist the sails of change—'tis a right jolly adventure!
Ahoy, mateys! Gather ‘round as I regale ye with the latest scuttlebutt from the high seas of law! Judges from far and wide be makin' quick work of climate lawfare, much to the delight of landlubbers everywhere, especially after the Supreme Court decided to steer clear of the stormy seas of climate claims earlier this year.In a recent ruckus, judges in Maryland and New York tossed aside lawsuits from swashbucklin' plaintiffs claimin' that energy companies be causin’ harm through emissions, with the courts suggestin' that these claims be as flimsy as a ship's sail in a calm sea. With over two dozen towns and states joinin' the fray, it be a risky business for those energy providers who keep our ships runnin’ smooth with cheap power!
Now, the energy companies be fightin' back, claimin' that these climate accusations be blocked by the Clean Air Act, which is as secure as a treasure chest on a deserted island! And Judge Videtta Brown, in all her wisdom, declared that lettin’ these lawsuits sail would be like givin’ the plaintiffs a treasure map to regulate emissions on their own!
So, ye see, while some courts still be entertainin’ these claims, the tide seems to be turnin' against the plaintiffs, makin' it a merry time for the folks who enjoy affordable energy and a touch of law and order on the high seas!
