A California Judge May Have Just Sunk All Those Climate Lawsuits Against Energy Companies

A California Judge May Have Just Sunk All Those Climate Lawsuits Against Energy Companies. I wouldn’t get too excited. This will probably land in the 9th Circuit Court of Schlemiels and we all know the BS they’re capable of pulling out from under their robes.
