The lessons learned from the Big Tobacco shakedown

.....are going to be used against "Big Energy" to fulfill a "global warming" agenda item.

Noteworthy:

"The point of such exercise would not be to litigate the matter to conclusion — ever more challenging what with forced corrections of the temperature record, recent exposure of the woeful reliability of our own world's most reliable surface measuring network, and of course no global warming in a decade (or, we now know, since 1900 for that matter) — but to extract massive settlements from the energy industry to further fund the trial lawyers, greens and the greens' pet projects.

Just imagine the anti-energy campaign that this model would yield! And at no cost, really, except to anyone who uses energy and/or invests in these sleepy 'granny stocks'.

Oh, and the economy."
