"The Imperial Beach lawsuit sweeps up 37 companies, including ExxonMobil, Chevron, BP, Royal Dutch Shell, ConocoPhillips and Peabody Energy. Since Imperial Beach and the counties of Marin and San Mateo chose a courtroom showdown, five other cities and counties in California have also sued. Around the country, others have done the same, including New York City and municipalities in Colorado and Washington State. Some of the suits expand the harms of climate change beyond sea level rise to include wildfires, drought and pestilence."

This tiny town is about to be spending a lot of money to fight a suit they will not win. The attorneys love the gullibility of idiot politicians.

OK I guess I'll give you the benefit of the doubt on that one, but muscle car has a specific meaning in the USA, maybe you are unaware.
Yes, I have a dodge Ram truck. It's utility factor is a bit higher than a Pontiac Firebird 1967 which is what I picture as a "muscle car."
I balance my footprint with a Prius. You can guess which one gets most of the miles with commuting and runaround and which one goes to the beach and Home Depot.

Right on!

It's the lawsuit of the century.

David vs Goliath.

We the people vs they the corporations.

"Since Imperial Beach and the counties of Marin and San Mateo chose a courtroom showdown, five other cities and counties in California have also sued. Around the country, others have done the same, including New York City and municipalities in Colorado and Washington State.

The companies being targeted are among the world's richest. The 37 defendants got wealthy by selling products that in the past half-century accounted for a fifth of all the world's greenhouse gas emissions, according to the city's lawsuit. And for at least the past three decades, they understood the risks. (from OP link)

I bet they have a lotta high priced lawyers...

The companies, which did not respond to interview requests, are fighting back hard, both in court and in a campaign of public messaging, calling the suits frivolous and misguided. They won dismissals of San Francisco's and Oakland's lawsuits on June 25 after getting them moved to federal court. But Imperial Beach's case is still in state court, where the law is friendlier to municipal plaintiffs."

They'll drag it out so long the town will be destroyed by flood before it ever goes to court.

But it would be interesting...

We should plan our communities differently so that we don't have to drive as much.

Place residential near employment shopping and entertainment.

Use modern mass transit.

Have lots of solar farms and wind turbines.

And Bill Gates has a new kind of safe nuclear that uses up the spent fuel of the old dangerous nuclear. That sounds good.
