Of course. maybe the price of oil and gas is too low in Hawaii.

After the U.S. Supreme Court's recent decision to deny the oil companies' appeal, the lawsuit will proceed in Hawai'i.

"This landmark decision upholds our right to enforce Hawai'i laws in Hawai'i courts, ensuring the protection of Hawai'i taxpayers and communities from the immense costs and consequences of the climate crisis caused by the defendants' misconduct," said Ben Sullivan, executive director and chief resilience officer for the city and county of Honolulu's Office of Climate Change, Sustainability, and Resiliency.

I figure since the case is in Hawaii, the decision of guilty is already certain.

Maybe big oil should not do any sales in the state of Hawaii.

NY judge dismisses case again energy companies
Some common sense, but other states cases are still open

What's happening?​

The city of New York filed a lawsuit against Exxon Mobil, Shell, and BP — along with trade association the American Petroleum Institute — alleging that the companies misrepresented the environmental benefits of dirty energy and failed to disclose the associated climate risks.


On Jan. 15, state Supreme Court Justice Anar Patel struck down those claims, ruling that the city couldn't argue its 8.3 million residents were climate-conscious of "publicly known information" and then say the dirty energy companies deceived them with ad campaigns.

"The City cannot have it both ways," Patel wrote, adding that the alleged greenwashing statements — such as Exxon's claim that its fuels are "created to let you drive cleaner, smarter and longer" — "have been taken out of context" and are merely "aspiration, opinion, or puffery."

"No reasonable consumer would be misled by these subjective, nonspecific, and vague statements," Patel said.

"At some point, our hope is that political figures around the country come to understand that ideological hatred for us doesn't mean we did anything wrong," Exxon said in a statement to Reuters. BP did not respond to the publication, and Shell declined to comment on the matter.

It's odd that the state that has the best climate ( really gorgeous tropocal weather) would even be concerned about this Global climate scam as if the are effected at all. They just had a couple feet of snow on their highest mountain ... global warming? Like California, they are liberal freaks. What happens to to liberal states? They go down in their quality of living. At least if you are going to be homeless, might as well be in Hawaii ... fish and sleep under the stars. The one thing they don't need like the rest of us > border walls! They didn't have massive amounts of illegal aliens invading their land.
