I’ve covered so much lefty insanity already today that my head is close to overflowing – and it’s not cocktail time yet – and then this little gem hit the wires.

You have got to be kidding – the money-grubbing, virtue-signaling mah-roons. I don’t think there are six functioning brain cells between the lot of them.

Oh, for sure.

“Most responsible for” and “held accountable” cha-CHING!

*gag*

This shameless money grab – and that’s all it is – is going to make for some pretty interesting discovery during what I imagine is going to be an epic court fight.

…The legislation, called the Climate Change Superfund Act, mandates that the companies responsible for the bulk of carbon emissions buildup between 2000 and 2024 pay about $3 billion each year for 25 years.

“With nearly every record rainfall, heat wave, and coastal storm, New Yorkers are increasingly burdened with billions of dollars in health, safety, and environmental consequences due to polluters that have historically harmed our environment,” Governor Hochul said.

The law was modeled on the original Superfund law, which was established in 1980 and requires companies to pay for the cleanup of toxic waste wrought by incidents like oil and chemical spills.

New York’s new law focuses on pollution produced by the combustion of fossil fuels, which results in the warming of the atmosphere, causing extreme weather, like floods and storms, to be more frequent, experts say.

Gosh. They’re trotting out the academics to attest that the costs associated with this fleecing “won’t fall back on consumers.”

Of course, they won’t. Just like the cost of New York State’s insane rush to renewables hasn’t “come back on consumers,” right? That’s why electricity is so “cheap and affordable” even at this stage of the transition in New York.

I KID, I KID

…The 28.8 cnts per kWh that New York households paid for electricity in June 2024 was 61.8 percent more than the nationwide average cost of 17.8 cents per kWh. Last June, electricity costs in New York were 24.6 cents per kWh, compared to the national average of 17.0 cents. Over the past five Junes, New York area electricity prices exceeded the national average by at least 44 percent.

But no worries, right? Woo-hoo, Hochul!

Those fossil fuel companies need to pay for all the damage from those *checks notes* “extreme” events that never, ever happened before, ever, in the history of man – or at least New York State – until twenty-four years ago.

Suddenly, all those nat gas furnaces and stoves, those more fuel-efficient cars, and the nat gas power plants that keep the lights on all went berserk. Wreaked havoc everywhere – literally every corner of the state.

…“Repairing from and preparing for extreme weather caused by climate change will cost more than half a trillion dollars statewide by 2050,” said State Senator Liz Krueger, a Democrat who was the lead sponsor of the legislation. “That’s over $65,000 per household, and that’s on top of the disruption, injury and death that the climate crisis is causing in every corner of our state.”

I can’t decide what qualifies for “extreme.” When everything they whine about has happened before.

Literally, weather repeats itself. Sometimes with a glove, sometimes with a baseball bat.

Even during the years that they’re trying to soak the energy companies for.

My friend Tom Nelson has a really terrific primer on where the hot and cold data for the “extreme” temperature claims come from.

There is so much data available to all now and so many scientists who finally have a voice to be heard, challenging the narratives that have driven these disastrous, ruinous policies.

…Yet, alarmists continue to push the narrative of an impending crisis. It’s time to challenge the fearmongering and focus on the facts!  #ClimateReality

What that is going to do when these lawsuits hit the courts is expose the climate cult industry for what it is – a massive grift with a dedicated censorship cabal to protect it.

Not only is New York State – and Vermont, with their similar May 2024 bill – going to have to directly tie the fossil fuel industry (that still drives some 81% of our power generations) to be the cause of “climate change,” they are also going to have to prove that the fossil fuel industry is responsible for extreme events caused by “climate change,” a charge the data doesn’t begin to support.

They are going to have to prove events are “more extreme” and what do they mean by that? If they really just mean “more expensive” because more people/structures/infrastructure are impacted than was there 20 years ago, how are the fossil fuel companies responsible for population growth and sprawl?

What if it’s all hooey?

…No increase in extreme weather.

No increase in loss of life. 

No increase in costs. 

The facts don’t fit the narrative. It’s all part of a grand scheme to keep you in fear while they pull the strings.

Discovery is going to be fun.

Especially with the incoming Trump administration opening up the drawers in the EPA to see just how far under the covers they’ve been with helping drive the Science™ instead of the science. 

Woo-hoo, Hochul.
