Federal Judge Dismissed Claim Of A Conspiracy To Suppress Global Warming Science

Odd, since this is the entire point of the case and it hasn’t really even started yet- today was just a tutorial.

But... it’s the Daily Caller, and we know how dedicated you are to crappy information sources...

Thanks for the link, looks like there was actually some useful discussion.

So far the Daily Caller is the only outlet I can find that says

A federal judge overseeing a lawsuit dismissed a core section
plaintiffs brought in the case — oil companies conspired to
cover up global warming science. ​

SCIENCE
Oil Companies Conveniently Think Climate Science Stopped in 2013


“Good news! Oil companies are woke to the reality of climate change. There’s just one small hitch. They only care about outdated science that serves their agenda of not paying billions to fix the mess they helped create.

So it went at the climate science trial on Wednesday in a San Francisco courtroom. Well, more accurately it was a “tutorial” about the history of climate science and “the best science now available on global warming” as part of a case involving Bay Area cities suing Chevron, BP, and Exxon for billions to help them prepare for sea level rise.

The tutorial put oil companies in a bit of a pickle. They’ve known about climate change for decades and that the oil they sell is one of the root causes, all while actively deceiving the public about the dangers it poses. Admitting that could put them on the hook in California and elsewhere as climate litigation blossoms.”
 
As near as I can tell, this story isn't all that it's cracked up to be.

A Google search and scanning the local paper this morning turns up nothing of the sort.
