Elemental question to ask here is whether the bulk of her tale is actually true. Why?

"Leon v Exxon"
1) Exxon Did Not Know as far back as the '70s about global warming because… #GlobalCooling
2) 'Industry-paid skeptic scientists' accusation is totally false
3) 'Victim' died driving her car minus airconditioning 2 weeks after big surgery
Very unwise #lawfare tactic. I'll explain in my upcoming dissection of this one. Meanwhile, I updated my tally of these "ExxonKnew" lawsuits, and added this one to my list of these falsely accusing skeptic scientist Dr Willie Soon:

NY Times: ‘A woman sued oil and gas companies over her mother’s death in a heat wave’ –
‘It’s the first wrongful death case targeting fossil fuel companies over their role in global warming’

#SmokingGun words that were good enough in 2017 … ain't today? But wait, this one has more bits that don't add to “growing #evidence” of fossil fuel industry #disinformation, they prompt more questions about the entire accusation.
"State of Hawaii v. BP"

Had to update my count of the "ExxonKnew" lawsuits twice in 3 days, for May 1st filing of "Hawai`i v BP PLC" and the strange May 2nd self-dismissal of "Estado Libre Asociado de Puerto Rico v Exxon". My next blog post will be a dissection of "Hawai`i v BP"

"The #Plagiarism Problem Plaguing the “ExxonKnew” #Lawfare#Lawsuits"
Correct me if I'm guessing wrong here — every one of the #ClimateLawfare efforts are now possibly staring down the virtual gun barrel of Rule 11(b).
@SteveGuest Just sayin'—this may crash ALL of the ExxonKnew #lawsuits.
• "Multnomah" ( https://t.co/Y4RUaeC08b ) has #plagiarized bits from "Muni. of Puerto Rico"
• "Puerto Rico"…from "Platkin v Exxon"
• "Chicago v BP"…"CA v Exxon"
The problem is way bigger.

@FreeBeacon I reported on this San Juan #plagiarism problem at my GelbspanFiles blog in Feb 2024 ( https://t.co/IazyPc2NKp ). Not the 1st instance of 'copycat' in these lawsuits by a long shot. The guys at @ClimateLitWatch noted what I was seeing in Jan 2024.

#SCOTUS may need to re-examine their decision on this one, based on "Chicken Little" #evidence and other fatal evidence faults presented to them to consider.

For those wanting to see for themselves first, link here for AGs Bonta et al.'s Appendix Volume One: https://t.co/elVmOu9f6J
#1 in my image below: Appendix PDF bottom of pg 304 continuing to 305
#2: PDF pg 333
#3: PDF pg 302
#4: PDF pgs 303 & 304
Learned this yesterday: main 4 FALSE accusations in "ExxonKnew" #lawsuits were offered as evidence to #SCOTUS in CA/CT/MN/NJ/RH AG's 8/21/24 Brief in Opposition's Appendix Vol One against "Alabama v. CA, CT, MN, NJ, & RH." I'll cover that crash in my next GelbspanFiles blog post.
That apparent #plagiarism problem in the climate #lawsuits ... is it just unethical, or is it an indicator of a far bigger problem?

It's hard to tell how smart she is, but if she has any smarts at all, she should be terrified about what happens if Federal / legal system investigators start pulling on any one of her personal heroine stories' loose threads.
@zcolman - 2 of 2: BTW, congrats of being a guest in the 1,700th climate issue instance (by my ongoing count) in which the PBS NewsHour did not offer a scintilla of info for its viewers that any other side besides the IPCC / Al Gore #EchoChamber exists.

@zcolman - 1 of 2: The reason why it wasn't clear to you (in your 3/13/25 NewsHour discussion https://t.co/6rd3JPN0uY ) how EPA overturns its endangerment finding is because you don't know it was improperly put in place from the start. @ClimateAudit

#CourtJurisdiction debate on #ExxonKnew#lawsuits only kicks the can down the road. Investigate who first pushed FALSE claims that #FossilFuel companies tried to "reposition global warming as theory," and you can kick these out of the courts completely.
How many of you get a $1 MILLION+ pay hike from one fiscal tax reporting time to the next? Over on the #GreenNewScam side, it's called #NiceWorkIfYouCanGetIt.

If reporters had committed actual acts of #journalism back in 1997, we might not even be talking about the #ClimateScam issue today. Examination of one big problem might have led to the discovery of bigger problems which could've have sank the whole issue.
