If climate change were a hoax you wouldn't need shielding against legal liability...
This handily establishes that the government sanctions their actions, so the government is responsible for the harm to the environment or the harm those fossil fuel companies cause people.
Good thing we now know the next president can label the executives that follow through a national security threat, freeze their accounts, sanction them and force the sale of any company needed to another American company of choice then revoke their families citizenship and deport them to a country they have never been to or speak the language. (Or just a prison camp)
Or are those just legal acts when done by Trump?
Oh wait I forgot he already set Republican support of the U.S. government buying stake in the company as well. I suppose that means they can just take majority stake and assign someone in their cabinet to run it like Rubio's supposedly doing Venezuelas oil deals.
All of these things show this government system can't continue as it is or it will guarantee a constant rise of the population being accosted and mistreated until there truly is a collapse.
Or are those just legal acts when done by Trump?
Wilhoit's Law applies:
"Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition ... There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.”
Or to put it in other terms, Conservatism says:
wow I want some of whatever psychedelic you're on. That shit would never happen. Any Democrat that the oligarchs allowed to get elected would never do anything that actually threatens their economic interest.
I agree with you to a point, but the reason Trump's administration has had to try to roll back restrictions placed against such companies during both his administrations is because those regulations were indeed signed in.
When were the regulations signed in though? In an era different from today. Without major reform or minor revolution we wouldn't be able to get back to that era.
Biden passed the 2024 Powerplant regulations that they are rolling back now, and Obama passed the clean power plan 2015 built on the 2009 greenhouse gas engagement finding performed during his first term.
So the eras were the last 3 times Republicans were not in office
This won't happen. Evidence is evidence and no company is above the law.
Most American companies are completely above the law.
Why go to court when you can just send a send a guy to Dana White, right?
I don't know why I'm even surprised anymore. Of course they would try this shit. Fucking Cruz and every single Republican needs to go to prison. Also most establishment Democrats too.
Discussion of climate, how it is changing, activism around that, the politics, and the energy systems change we need in order to stabilize things.
As a starting point, the burning of fossil fuels, and to a lesser extent deforestation and release of methane are responsible for the warming in recent decades:
How much each change to the atmosphere has warmed the world:
Recommended actions to cut greenhouse gas emissions in the near future:
Anti-science, inactivism, and unsupported conspiracy theories are not ok here.
