IT IS NOT THAT WE ARE WORRIED ABOUT CLIMATE CHANGE, IT IS ALSO
THAT IT BOTHERS ME THAT THE OIL COMPANIES THAT HAVE CONTRIBUTED
SO MUCH TO CLIMATE CHANGE KEEP
ALL THE PROFITS AND THEY SOCIALIZE THE COST TO ALL OF US.
IT'S LIKE A SMOKER THAT IS BLOWING SMOKE IN YOUR FACE
NONSTOP.
I DIDN'T ASK FOR YOUR CANCER, BUT DON'T GIVE ME YOUR CANCER.
WHERE COMPANIES ARE DOING IT WORLDWIDE.
IF THEY SHARE THE PROFITS AND WE ALL AGREED TO WHAT WE WOULD SAY
I'M GOING TO MAKE AN EXTRA 10
BUCKS OR 100 BUCKS THIS YEAR BUT THE PLAN IS GOING TO LAST
SHORTER THAN EXPECTED, OKAY THAT IS ONE QUESTION.
BUT THEY TOOK ALL OF THE PROFITS AND THEY TOOK ALL OF THE COSTS
ON OUR HEAD.
NEW YORK CITY IS FINALLY SAYING I'M NOT GOING TO TAKE IT
ANYMORE.
THE WASHINGTON POST EXPLAINS.
11% OF THE HOLD TOTAL IS JUST THOSE FIVE COUNTRIES.
THAT IS A DIFFERENT STORY RECOVERED A WHILE BACK.
NEW YORK CITY IS NOT THE FIRST ONE TO DO IT BUT THIS IS A
MAJOR CASE.
SOME CITIES AND COUNTIES IN CALIFORNIA HAD ALREADY DONE IT.
YOU ARE NOT A PERSON, THERE IS NO MR.
EXXON OR MOBIL.
NO ONE HAS EVER RAISED THEIR HAND.
I'M SURE MITT ROMNEY WOULD, AND A WHOLE SLEW OF REPUBLICAN
POLITICIANS WOULD.
YOU DON'T HAVE ANY INALIENABLE RIGHTS ENDOWED BY THEIR CREATOR,
WE ARE YOUR CREATOR.
MORE FROM THE NEW YORK CITY GOVERNOR LAWSUIT.
BUT IN THE
MOVIE INCONVENIENT TRUTH THERE
IS A SCENE WHERE LAURA VAN HATTON GETS FLOODED.
INCONVENIENT SQL JUST CAME OUT A LITTLE WHILE AGO, AND IN THAT
MOVIE YOU SEE IN SUPER STORM SANDY WERE LOWER MANHATTAN
INCLUDED GROUND ZERO GETS FLOODED.
NEW YORK IS SAYING I ALREADY PAID BILLIONS IN DAMAGES.
AND THEN I HAVE TO BUILD ALL THESE NEW ARMAMENTS AND LEVIES
ETC.?
THAT IS FANTASTIC THAT HE POINTS THAT OUT.
UNFORTUNATELY WE ARE NEVER GOING TO GET THOSE LIVES BACK.
WE UNDERSTAND THAT NOT ONE WEATHER EVENT DEFINES
WHETHER WE HAVE CLIMATE CHANGE OR NOT.
BUT IT IS CLEAR
THAT WE ARE NOT
GOING TO
GET
CLIMATE
CHANGE LATER, WE ARE
GOING TO GET IT RIGHT NOW.
IT IS ABOUT TIME THAT SOMEBODY FOUGHT BACK.
WASHINGTON POST EXPLAINS ABOUT
THE LAWSUIT.
WHY ARE WE TAKING ALL THIS MONEY FOR PROGRESSIVE AREAS LIKE NEW
YORK AND CALIFORNIA WHO DON'T AGREE TO ANY OF THESE FOSSIL
FUEL COMPANIES AND PUTTING PENSION MONEY INTO THOSE
COMPANIES?
THERE IS NO REASON TO DO THAT.
THERE ARE PLENTY COMPANIES IN THE WORLD AND PLENTY WAVE TO
MAKE GREAT RETURN FOR THOSE TENSIONS.
YOU DON'T NEED THOSE COMPANIES.
IN FACT THEY HAVE WITHDRAWN FROM THAT.
THERE'S MANY GREAT COMPANIES WHO HAVE ALREADY WITHDRAWN FROM
FOSSIL FUEL COMPANIES.
NOW GOVERNMENTS ARE DOING IT WITH HUGE PENSION FUNDS AND I
THINK IT COULD MAKE ALL THE DIFFERENCE.
IT IS A GOOD DAY IN AMERICA NOW THAT THE FIGHT HAS BEEN JOINED
AGAINST CLIMATE CHANGE IN A REAL
WAY.
