All it amounts to is an attempt to raise energy cost, a backdoor tax so to speak because you know that the energy producers will need to pass that cost along to the consumers. Liberals are dead set on making us live their version of life where everything comes up roses and everything is powered by unicorn farts...... There is no such utopia....... But if we have learned anything by now about the liberal mindset is this, They always shout the loudest because they know in their hearts and soul that a majority of the American people are not listening to them and, that they never give up.

I don't think it would have much of an effect, since Exxon alone had more than 300 billion dollars in revenue and more than 30 billion dollars in net income last year.  They can afford this case a lot better than whoever is suing them.  

But I don't let my judgment of a few crazy liberals cloud my judgment of whether man-made climate change is real.  It's real.
