Trump keeps WINNING and WINNING
Federal Judge throws out SF and Oakland climate suits against big oil. A federal judge Monday tossed out two groundbreaking lawsuits by San Francisco and Oakland that sought to hold some of the world’s largest oil companies liable for climate change.
In an exhaustive, 16-page ruling that touched on such scientific matters as the ice age and early observations of carbon dioxide, that he felt undermines the evidence presented. U.S. District Judge William Alsup said it is just too big for the courts to solve what's causing climates to change.
“The problem deserves a solution on a more vast scale than can be supplied by a district judge or jury in a public nuisance case,” he wrote.
The two cases are among the first of many nationwide that have recently attempted to force the oil industry to pay for what might amount to hundreds of billions of dollars to combat climate change. This was a stunning development to other municipalities, including a handful in California as well as New York City and Kings County, Wash. who were closely following Monday’s decision.

Who was the judge?
He went to law school at Harvard, and also earned a grad degree in policy policy at Harvard, then clerked for crazy old Bill Douglas on the Sup Ct.
This judge is so leftist he granted an injunction to halt Trump's end of Obama's unconstitutional DACA.
But still, there were limits, and pretending to rule on climate change was too big for a judge (translation: politician in a black robe).
