New York Democrat Gov. Kathy Hochul signed a law that will require fossil fuel companies to pay for damages related to "climate impact" and adverse weather conditions, the governor's office announced on Thursday.

The self-described "landmark legislation" looks to create a "Climate Superfund" that will make New York more resilient to conditions such as flooding and extreme heat. "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," Hochul said in a statement.

Democrat state Sen. Liz Krueger, a cosponsor on the bill, called the law a "shot that will be heard 'round the world.'"

Evidently, they did not get the Nov. 5th memo.....Oh well, some people you just can't reach.

The answer from "Big Oil" should be “tax deez nuts!”, then cease all petroleum fuel sales in her state, hopefully just before a state-wide snowstorm.

Problem solved, problem staying solved.

The oil companies didn't burn the fossil fuels in your state, New Yorkers did. Tax them.

BTW, about 80% of everything we need and used is petroleum-base related.

We need:

Food - that's trucked from farm to city ...
Housing - the lumber doesn't walk on her own to the job site ...
Clothing - every thread involves blue water shipping ...

I say we're 100% dependent on burning fossil fuels for our basic needs ... why I advocate conservation ... protect your own wallet first ...

Only my cats would survive without fossil fuels ...

what's the victory? explain what the problem is with climate?

pollution
own it

 

[Twisted Gypsy Child]

Please please ... what is this alleged "climate pollution" ... and show your math ... the people who caused this "crisis" are driving passenger vehicles, flying commercial airlines and eat meat ... the filthy pigs ... the only good thing about them is they murder their own unborn children ...

"This type of legislation represents nothing more than a punitive new fee on American energy" ... I'd rather they tax energy than food ... or better only tax earned income ... smart folks know ways around that ... it's the stupid burning the fuel, let the stupid pay taxes for the alleged clean-up ...

Buy an F-250 with a snow plow because stupid people live where it snows ...

Exxon share prices tripled under the Biden Administration ... too funny ...

pollution
dirty air
do not deny it

fyi it is tissue, it is not a child, baby, or anything else. I know, I assist the Dr.

That’s not climate

There are three small refineries in New York. There appear to be a few chemical plants. They will either pass that cost on or shut down.

Who else? Edison Power Company? That would be a literal pass through. Car and bus owners?

You do realize out of state companies are not subject to NY jurisdiction.

Easy peasey. No oil products go to the State of New York.

See how long that bullshit lasts.

West, she can’t define it in court

 

[jc456]

You stole my idea. Easiest way to comply with the ***** would be to say "Fine. No more oil-based climate-changing products for New York State" Suck on that.

BTW, about 80% of everything we need and used is petroleum-base related.

Then when she begs them back, add a 50% excise tax to the retail cost of everything to help defray the cost of their dealing with climate-change litigation.

No cell phones or consumables

I don't care. Stop all oil products going to New York. Watch that ***** beg for their return in a week.

A week might be too long for her, but I am tired of these leftist assholes hurting the middle class in the name of a fraud.

She needs to go.

Until those companies head out of that shithole state and into more friendlier states. Then it is buyer be damned. And all those tax paying workers go with them.

I don't think any oil companies are based in New York. They should just cease operations there. I believe that if they don't have brick and mortar locations, the state can't tax them. Let independent companies buy the oil out of state and import it and let them deal with the confiscatory taxes.

These fools, higher fuel prices in New York ...the tax payers will pay that...

New York to Force Oil, Gas Companies to Pay Reparations for 'Climate Change' Damage

Large fossil fuel companies will now have to hand over punitive reparations to help New York fight the effects of "climate change" under a bill signed by Gov. Kathy Hochul (D).
