202.

However, on Wednesday, the case was released by a higher court judge in New Jersey Douglas Hurd, who ruled that legal oil companies could not be responsible for shows in the world. The case is rejected by prejudice, which means that it cannot be reopening.
“Prosecutors seek to regulate the whole whole – and even around the world – trade and distribution of lawful products where billions of people outside New Jersey rely on the heating of their homes, powers their hospitals and schools, products and transport their food and produce countless items of essential security, The well -being and progress of modern society, “said Hurd, who reached the verdict.

Hurd said that prosecutors could not only require damage caused by emissions throughout the country.
“Since prosecutors seek compensation due to alleged damage caused by interstate and international emissions and global warming, their demands cannot be regulated by the state law. According to our federal constitutional system, the states cannot use their laws to resolve requests that seek compensation for injuries allegedly caused by external through the emission of the state and around the world, “Hurd said in the decision.

Energy experts Fox News Digital said that release sends a clear message that “Energy policy should be set up by elected officials, not on the litigation that is activist lawyers.”
“This verdict is a great victory for common sense and the rule of law. The climatic activists used the courts to encourage their radical plan, but judges are increasingly rejecting these unfounded lawsuits that threaten energy security and economic stability,” Jason Isaac, CEO of the US Institute for The energy and former Texas representative, said in a statement shared with Fox News Digital.

Steve Milloy, an older colleague from the Law Institute of Energy and the Environment and a former member of the Trump of EPA transition team, said similar lawsuits could face the same fate because “climate controversy is political, not legal.”

“Although Democrats don’t really understand it, political questions are on the ballot, not in the courtroom,” Milloy said.
