A bill signed by Gov. Jeff Landry on Thursday mirrors other laws passed in red states amid a national effort to ban climate lawsuits against oil and gas companies.

If climate change is fake, then it should be an easy for the defendents to win any lawsuits… right?
Would this allow for a rico case against those states?
The damn law is on theor side. Time for war, then.
Ah, yes. Perfect example of the State protecting people.
Guess it’s time to sue the State for violating its own constitution
Doesn’t that violate the equal protection clause?
Ah, stupid laws made by crooked men.
Ain’t that America for you and me? Ain’t that America? It’s something to see.
kill on, Big Oil, kill on
& kill on, GOP, kill on…
These evil fuckers will see this planet burn if it lines their pockets.
“Will”? Brother it is already happening in front of our very eyes. You are living through an extinction.
Welcome to the anthropocene.
Does that mean that we can sue everyone who supported the bill? If we can’t sue the ones turning the water bad, we can surely sue the ones carrying it, right?
Nope. You cannot sue the legislative body for legislating. You can sue to block or nullify laws, but you can’t sue individuals directly who are acting in their capacity as lawmakers.
Never give any money to someone you can’t sue.
One big problem: if enough states so this, there could be incentive and precedent for it to become a federal law in the future.
