Gov Abbott backs Exxon in climate change case, tells Cali officials to mind their own business

Abbott AUSTIN – No Texan voted for the California officials who are orchestrating climate change “lawfare” against his state’s energy sector – oil and gas companies that employ hundreds of thousands and bring in billions in tax revenue, says Gov. Greg Abbott. Currently, the Texas Supreme Court is considering ExxonMobil’s petition of review, which asserts California municipalities and a Massachusetts lawyer are attempting to chill speech and commandeer public policy, subjecting them to personal jurisdiction in Texas courts. On May 6, Abbott filed a brief in support of Exxon, asking the Supreme Court to grant the petition for review in order to “resolve an important legal question with major implications for the energy sector in the State of Texas.”

The Life and Death of a Pioneering Environmental Justice Lawyer

DeSmog The Life and Death of a Pioneering Environmental Justice Lawyer How Luke Cole and an Alaskan community spearheaded a landmark climate lawsuit against fossil fuel giants and helped empower other marginalized communities to stand up for themselves.

Each storm season brings increased stress and fear for the people of Kivalina, a tiny Native village of some 400 Inupiaq people that sits on a small barrier island on the shore of the Chukchi Sea in Alaska. For decades, there was no reliable way of evacuating people in the event of a severe storm; the only way on or off the island was by small plane or boat, neither of which are available or safe during high winds, storm surges, and inundation. A bridge to the mainland was only recently completed. Meanwhile, the island is rapidly eroding

Energy Policy Advocates and the Fossil Fuel Boosters Attacking Legal Efforts to Hold Climate Polluters Accountable

DeSmog Apr 30, 2020 @ 15:56 While fossil fuel companies defend against mounting climate liability lawsuits in court, their surrogates are working in parallel to target the attorneys, academics, and institutions supporting these lawsuits. This defensive strategy involves vigorous public records requests, and in some cases legal action or intervention, to try proving a supposed conspiracy by those working to hold polluters accountable. ExxonMobil has itself argued that attorneys general and municipal officials that have sued the company are engaged in a conspiracy to take down Big Oil. That argument hasn’t gained traction in court, but this hasn’t stopped operatives tied to fossil fuel funding from trying to take up that charge.

Exxon on climate change litigation: Non-residents using lawfare to suppress Texas speech subject to Texas jurisdiction

Pawa AUSTIN – The parties accused of orchestrating climate change “lawfare” against the energy sector are feigning shock that their attempts to chill speech and commandeer public policy could be subjected to personal jurisdiction in Texas courts, ExxonMobil argues in a recently filed brief. Last June, an appellate court ruled it does not have jurisdiction over California cities and counties pursuing climate change lawsuits against the energy sector. The case is now currently before the Texas Supreme Court. Justices have been tasked to decide if ExxonMobil has the authority to investigate those who allegedly orchestrated the litigation. Exxon argues that the “potential defendants use tort suits to impose their preferred climate and energy policies on Texas.”
