The legal battle against oil companies for their purported role in contributing to a climate change crisis is starting to take shape. This past Wednesday, a federal judge in San Francisco made history, holding the first-ever U.S. court hearing exploring the impact of climate change. Lawyers representing the cities of Oakland and San Francisco as well as five of the largest multinational oil companies named in the lawsuit, participated in a climate change “tutorial,” a chance to explore both sides’ positions on several questions related to climate change. Here’s what we learned from the hearing: future litigation will pit reasoned dialog in line with mainstream climate science against the politically charged rhetoric of climate change extremism.

This "climate change lawsuit" is something right out of Michael Crichton's "State of Fear".

That's one book of his that will NEVER be made into a "major motion picture"...

Why Chevron remains with its HQ in San Ramon among enemies that wish to destroy it is beyond me.
