Arrr, matey! This here NY climate lawsuit be but a scallywag's scheme, lettin' states plunder the courts fer what they can't do on their own—shacklin' energy like a landlubber! May it sink like a leaky ship, I say! Savvy?
Avast ye merry mates! Gather ‘round and lend an ear to a tale from the high seas of politics, where New York’s Governor, Kathy Hochul, hath signed a cursed parchment known as the "climate superfund" law on a frosty December day! Aye, this decree lays the blame for climate change squarely on the backs of the oil and gas swabs, demanding they fork over a mighty treasure of $75 billion to fill the coffers of the so-called superfund!But lo and behold! A fleet of 22 states be charging forth, brandishing their legal swords against this dastardly law, cryin’ foul over its unconstitutional overreach. These crafty scallywags be claiming that New York’s sneaky scheme be a ruse to plunder their own coffers! Courts be dismissing similar claims left and right, leaving the likes of New Jersey and San Francisco to lick their wounds.
As the winds of law blow against this legislative venture, it be clear that New York’s approach be akin to a pirate trying to rob a ship whilst still wanting to sail her! With fairness needing to reign and causation to be proven, it seems this superfund scheme be destined to sink like a ship with a hole below the waterline. Yarrr, the courts must stand firm and not let the state’s greed guide its sails!
