Oil and gas companies are asking the Supreme Court to block dozens of high-powered lawsuits from California to Massachusetts seeking to hold the industry liable for billions of dollars in costs related to climate change.

    And then turn around and bribe lobby Congress to obstruct any federal laws. Easier to bribe lobby half of Congress than each state.
