Experts are warning that the state of Hawaii’s ruling against oil companies is a “stalking horse” for effectively forcing Americans to live under the Green New Deal. The warnings come as the U.S. Supreme Court considers taking up the case after the companies filed an appeal over the ruling. Some of the justices on the Hawaii Supreme Court have cited the “spirit of Aloha” in their rulings‚ which critics say is clear mockery directed at the U.S. Constitution. The city of Honolulu claimed in its lawsuit that oil companies like Exxon and Chevron should pay billions of dollars because they were responsible for weather events that it claimed were caused by climate change‚ including sea level rise‚ heat waves‚ flooding‚ and global warming. Fox News reported that the oil companies initially appealed the ruling with the Hawaii Supreme Court‚ noting that federal law prevents states from shaping policies for all states. Carrie Severino‚ president of Judicial Crisis Network (JCN)‚ said “one rogue state court in Hawaii can’t dictate climate policy for the nation” and that “it’s Congress’ job to set national policy in this area.” Former Arizona Solicitor General O.H. Skinner‚ the CEO of Alliance for Consumers‚ said that the ruling was “a stalking horse for the Green New Deal‚ with lefty enclaves looking to strong-arm progressive lifestyle choices onto an otherwise unwilling public by targeting industries that have yet to fall in line with the progressive ideal.” “The hyper-ideological justices on the Hawaii Supreme Court seem to want to bankrupt fossil fuel companies and see this lawsuit as a magical key that unlocks unlimited power and a lot of money for progressive agendas‚” Skinner said. The report noted that Hawaii Supreme Court Chief Justice Mark Recktenwald has worked in collaboration with a hard-Left judicial advocacy group called the Environmental Law Institute (ELI) that exists to indoctrinate judges on “how to handle climate change litigation that comes before them.” CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP Other justices on Hawaii’s top court have questioned the legitimacy of the U.S. Supreme Court‚ arguing that “the Aloha Spirit inspires constitutional interpretation.” Justices have also allowed their personal feelings to help dictate their rulings‚ including one who said in the ruling that in her “view‚” climate change was “the most important issue facing all courts in the world at this point. It’s an existential threat.” Skinner noted that the ruling that Hawaii wants will have a profound impact on Americans’ ability to live‚ especially in the era of having to deal with high costs due to the inflation that President Joe Biden caused with his American Rescue Plan in early 2021. “Honolulu’s proverbial ‘spirit of Aloha’ assault here‚ if left unchecked‚ will actually bore a hole in the pockets of Americans as it marches across industry after industry‚ increasing the costs of food‚ cars‚ travel‚ and all the other basic building blocks of the modern American life at a pace that everyday Americans won’t be able to afford‚” he said. “This is the high court’s problem because it will have compounding impacts on everyday Americans who are already struggling to keep up with the rising costs just to live a decent life.”

Guyana President Mohamed Irfaan Ali slammed a BBC reporter in an interview this week for claiming that his small nation was contributing to climate change by allowing oil drilling off its coast. BBC journalist Stephen Sackur suggested that Ali was wrong for allowing the drilling and asked him if he had the “right” to do so. “Let’s take a big picture look at what’s going on here. Over the next decade‚ two decades‚ it is expected that there will be $150 billion worth of oil and gas extracted off your coast‚” Sackur said. “It’s an extraordinary figure. But think of it in practical terms. That means‚ according to many experts‚ more than 2 billion tons of carbon emissions will come from your seabed from those reserves and be released into the atmosphere.” “Let me stop you right there‚” Ali fired back. “Let me stop you right there. Do you know that Guyana has a forest‚ forever‚ that is the size of England and Scotland combined? The forest stores 19.5 gigatons of carbon‚ a forest that we have kept alive‚ a forest that we have kept alive.” “Does that give you the right to release all of this carbon?” Sackur asked. “Does that give you the right to lecture us on climate change?” Ali fired back. “I am going to lecture you on climate change because we have kept this forest alive that stores 19.5 gigatons of carbon that you enjoy‚ that the world enjoys‚ that you don’t pay us for‚ that you don’t value‚ that you don’t see a value in‚ that the people of Guyana has kept alive.” “Guess what? We have in the lowest deforestation rate in the world. And guess what? Even with our greatest exploration of the oil and gas resource we have now‚ we will still be net zero‚ Guyana will still be net zero with all our exploration‚” he continued. Sackur tried to cut Ali off‚ but Ali kept firing away. “I am not finished yet. I am just not finished as yet‚” he continued. “Because this is a hypocrisy that exists in the world. We‚ the world in the last 50 years‚ has lost 65% of all its biodiversity. We have kept our biodiversity. Are you valuing it? Are you ready to pay for it? When is the developed world going to pay for it? Or are you in the pockets of those who have damaged the environment? Are you and your system in the pockets of those who destroyed the environment through the Industrial Revolution and now lecturing us? Are you in their pockets? Are you paid by them?” CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP The President of Guyana brought a wrecking ball to the BBC‚ which tried to guilt trip him and his country for exporting natural resources. pic.twitter.com/S5Md9Eh90j — Ian Miles Cheong (@stillgray) March 31‚ 2024

A groom in the UK was feeling all the emotions and nerves when he stood at the altar and spoke his vows to his bride‚ which made him a bit too tongue-tied. Robert and Amy Thomson said “I do” during a small ceremony in Essex last April‚ and Robert mixed up a few words when he was repeating after the officiant. In an interview with SWNS‚ per The New York Post‚ the gaffe was “a moment no one can forget or live down.” While Robert admitted that it was “such a lovely day‚” a video shows that he was having a hard time keeping it together. Every time he looked at his soon-to-be-wife‚ he sweetly blushed and looked choked up. So he had a hard time focusing on his lines. View this post on Instagram A post shared by New York Post (@nypost) “I call upon these persons here present to witness that I‚ Robert James Thompson do take thee Amy Susan Sheila Jacqueline Aldon to be my lawful wedded wife‚” he said. “As I take you to be my wife‚ I promise to love you‚ to honor and respect you.” “I will stand by you and be true to your will‚” he continued. “I will care for you‚ laugh at you when you’re happy‚ laugh at you when you’re sad.” The moment he said “laugh at you when you’re sad‚” Amy nearly fell over in laughter. And the entire chapel erupted. It took him a moment to recover from the snafu. But he managed to pull himself together and say‚ “I will comfort you when you’re sad.” “I don’t think he realized until the reaction‚” Amy laughed. “We’ll never forget it.”  In the end‚ the newlyweds think the slip-up is a highlight of their wedding day. And now they’re living happily ever after. “I did see the funny side of it‚” he added. “And our family and friends definitely saw the funny side of it too!” You can find the source of this story’s featured image here.
