Quote:

"U.S. District Court Judge William Alsup, who is hearing a suit brought by the cities of Oakland and San Francisco against five big oil corporations, ordered a historic tutorial in which both parties will have a chance to present their view of the science behind climate change, the McClatchy Washington Bureau reported March 7."

The companies involved are Chevron, ConocoPhillips, ExxonMobil, BP and Royal Dutch Shell.

Also Republican Arnold Schwarzeneger is planning to take fuel companies to court indicating they are involved with first degree murder.

He states that oil companies have known for years about the impact of using fossil fuels.

Quote:

""The oil companies knew from 1959 on, they did their own study that there would be global warming happening because of fossil fuels, and on top of it that it would be risky for people's lives, that it would kill," said Schwarzenegger."

Also:

"Schwarzenegger added that "if you walk into a room and you know you're going to kill someone, it's first degree murder. I think it's the same thing with oil companies.""

An article and film that delves into the Permian extinction event by going through rock samples and the chemical processes that occurred at the time.
The film goes through a step by step process showing how data was collected and what could be determined from the results obtained by Dr Benjamin Burger.

Similar experimentation has been completed in China.

Hmmm, Ant; We have all seen some odd decisions made by courts.
What do you think would happen if the cases were proved ?
Would the court order a prohibition on the sale of petroleum products ?
As it is murder, could the court do anything else ?

How many millions would that order kill ?
Of course the legislators would have to intervene.
Interesting, only in America !

People do not take legal action unless they believe they have a very strong case.
But, I agree, Courts often do not make decisions that seem sensible. Justice and legal concepts do not always fit.

Being a Geologist, I directed my last comment to Viv in relation to the work completed by Dr Burger, you might like to show where it is wrong?

Dr Burger's film provides much detail about chemical processes that led to a mass extinction. The research conducted by Dr Burger falls in line with Chinese research.

Are you able to debunk the chemical processes discussed in the film by Dr Burger?

Let me get this straight? Some peanut yank judge is going to shut down petrol? Of course the greens will insist we do but China and India will laugh their proverbial off.
All my life you idiots have been telling me the end of the world is nigh. Mainly they think it frightens me? Not frightened and only contempt for silly little ant!
We need to ensure no taxpayer money is wasted on this rubbish and if a researcher says all the birds are going to die, stop all funding immediately. It would never happen again

The flea says” People do not take legal action unless they believe they have a very strong case.
But, I agree, Courts often do not make decisions that seem sensible. Justice and legal concepts do not always fit.
What a stupid remark, flea.
You know very well that the climate fraud promoter, Michael Mann, constantly starts legal cases he cannot win, against people who have told the truth about his fraudulent science. The cases go on forever, with Mann evading a hearing, until Mann loses, or they peter out in some way.
Mann sued Mark Steyn, and while the case was stalled by Mann’s efforts to evade a hearing, wrote and published a book containing numerous criticisms of Mann, and his flawed science by fellow scientists.
Steyn finally had part of the case before the court, which Mann lost.
He has another case, against Tim Ball, which he will lose
He would have to be as stupid as the flea to believe that he had any chance of winning the cases when he initiated them..
Schwarznegger appears to have read the book by the lying charlatan Naiomi Oreskes, and taken it as fact
