Oregon county sues oil, gas companies including Exxon, Shell, Chevron for deadly 2021 Pacific Northwest heat dome

Multnomah County in Oregon has filed a lawsuit against oil and gas companies including Exxon, Shell, Chevron for the 2021 deadly heat dome.

Will this fly? Can you sue a company for how its product was used by the general public? Even if you whole-heartedly believe the global warming narrative and blame the heat dome for it, it wasn't the drilling for oil that caused it. Its the use of that oil by all the global citizens and corporations. And if you can sue, does this mean that Ford is responsible when someone kills someone in a car accident? What's the difference?

Why don’t people just go inside when it’s really hot?

Are these companies indirectly at fault? Sure, I don’t think anyone with a semblance of logic and reasoning would dispute that. But trying to prove direct liability for one event seems like a reach.


Not impressed.

I really like what LIV has done to golf. I hope they’ll keep up this rowdy tradition now that they’ve merged.
