City should stop burning coal first?
I think these suits will emphasize less the hypocrisy of the plaintiffs, and focus on the knowing actions of the defendants.
* Did the defendants have data which showed what could happen if their products were burned in ever larger quantities?
* Did the defendants spend large sums of money to deflect and obscure the issue of CO2 emissions, and purposely confuse the general public? A general public who is still confused to this day because people generally believe the first thing they hear, or hear most frequently?
* Did the defendants prevent earlier adoption of alternative energy solutions already available in the 1970's and 1980's, such as solar and wind power, first through their purchase of small alternative energy companies, then by undermining and impeding their implementation through price gouging? I can't tell you how many articles I read about solar energy breakthroughs in the 1980's which increased power output of panels while lowering manufacturing costs, only to have the company bought out by ARCO - - who then purposely and intentionally scuttled production, sales, and R&D.
