The Supreme Court met yesterday for the first time over the question of whether or not to hear an appeal of an activist-driven climate lawsuit out of Hawaii.
The plaintiffs are seeking billions of dollars from major energy companies, using public nuisance lawsuits — money that will, undoubtedly, be used to force fundamental changes to what we can buy and how we consume energy.
The Left has been pushing these public nuisance lawsuits for years against all sorts of disfavored products and industries — from plastics to guns to cars to energy producers — through a coordinated campaign involving public officials, trial lawyers and advocacy groups, all backed by massive sums of liberal dark money.
It is infuriating to see the Left, funded by liberal dark money, run a coordinated campaign to change the lives of everyday consumers across the country and then dare to try and undermine any scrutiny of their efforts by presenting their opponents as the ones running a coordinated influence campaign.
They are desperate to keep these cases out of the Supreme Court because they know their arguments will be subject to sober and searching review for the very first time. They know that they might lose 9-0. And they know that if the Supreme Court steps in and trims the sails on this effort, that millions of dollars and years of coordinated dark money efforts will be blown to bits.
JUST IN: The Supreme Court is currently considering taking up an activist-driven climate lawsuit that could radically reshape our nation.

The Hawaii Supreme Court set the stage by blessing a bizarre climate lawsuit out of Honolulu — that would allow rogue blue state officials to use "public nuisance" lawsuits to attack almost any company or industry over the "climate crisis."
This is why we've been talking about public nuisance for the last year. Because public nuisance lawsuits are a weapon that the left is using to reshape our society.

Pay attention to this new cert petition coming out of the Hawaii Supreme Court...
It's a golden ticket that just got placed before the Supreme Court, at least for those of us who want to see the Left’s public nuisance campaign grind to a halt:
