#JustAskin .... @SenTedCruz @RepJamesComer @GOPoversight @TheJusticeDept @DOJFraudDiv - for a friend who stands falsely accused below ....
If the big #Exxon check with the odd dollar figure amount on it doesn't say "Payable to #WillieSoon .... that presents a bit of a problem, doesn't it? And how many other problems pop up when objective investigators dig deeper into ALL of this? gelbspanfiles.com/?p=20021

There ought to be a law and #LegalPrecedent on apparent #CharacterAssassination situations worthy of investigation like these two. ... Oh, wait, there is: #WitnessTampering & #SullivanvNYT @SenTedCruz @RepJamesComer @GOPoversight @MarkSteynOnline
Turns out there's a shared connection between what I thought were two separate utterly false #corruption accusations against two skeptic climate scientists. I detail it here: "The ‘#WillieSoon got $1.2 mill from #Exxon’ Accusation … just got more dicey." gelbspanfiles.com/?p=19977

When more people - young and old - find out what kind of info has been withheld from them . . . that's when they discover where the real #disinformation has been in the #ClimateIssue this entire time. @LLBiggers @anika_climate @emmaarns @ChrisMartzWX

#FollowTheMoney - of course. But also follow the flow of meritless accusations & the promulgators of that material. They'll likely lead to more $$, some of it potentially fraudulently gotten to fund their agendas. That way, the whole #ClimateLawfare effort may ultimately implode.
If this kind of material is in a template used for an argument in state Supreme Court, what stops it from being repeated at the #SCOTUS level? gelbspanfiles.com/?p=19850 "Amicus Brief of Naomi Oreskes … er, 'Expert Report' Redux 5: the Conservation Law Foundation v Shell version"

The kind of situations that make you go "#hmmmm ..."
gelbspanfiles.com/?p=19416 File a dinky #lawsuit about not disclosing some esoteric situation to shareholders; nobody will notice. Turn it into a huge #ExxonKnew filing with a central FALSE accusation; it may later be part of the recipe to torpedo all of the #ClimateLawfare efforts.

6️⃣ Alarmists' #PsychologicalProjection. A particular pair of #EnviroActivitsts FALSELY accused #DrWillieSoon of 'taking $1.2 million #DarkMoney in exchange for spreading #disinformation.' One of those guys has gotten 3X that amount into his mystery #HunterBiden-style LLC company.
How do I know that the climate *crisis* is a scam? Here are five reasons: 1️⃣ None of the politicians, celebrities, or “scientists” yammering about it have altered their lifestyles an inch. If they opted to forgo using O&G products, then I’d take them seriously. Actions speak louder than words. 2️⃣ Climate conferences aren’t being held virtually on Zoom using their large meeting extensions. It’s doable, they just choose not to. They like to fly overseas to lecture us about reducing our “carbon footprint” all the while they do nothing to lower their own. 3️⃣ Wealthier alarmists are still living on or buying oceanfront property. If ocean levels were really rising at a catastrophic rate (as opposed to the gradual increase that is actually occurring), then they would move inland and banks would not approve loans. 4️⃣ Alarmists rarely, if ever criticize China and India, and they always come up with all sorts of wonderful excuses as to why those nations get a free pass to continue emitting so-called “carbon pollution.” 5️⃣ The only solutions they offer involve increased governmental power. Higher taxes. EV mandates. Restrictions or bans on the energy sectors they don’t like. And, as an added bonus, no real-world data proves, much less suggests that we are facing an “existential crisis.” Even the IPCC doesn’t use such rhetoric because it isn’t based on science. I don’t deny that climate change exists. It always has. And, I don’t even deny that at least some of the increase in temperatures is anthropogenic. But I just don’t care because it isn’t that big of a deal. Extreme weather cannot be taxed away. Our vulnerability will continue to increase so long as we build in disaster-prone areas. Politicians cannot take our wallets and set a thermostat on the planet.

I've already added this one to my list of #lawsuits falsely accusing Dr #WillieSoon; my next task will be to add this "Birmingham" #ClimateLawfare effort into the list within my "SPM – The Plagiarism Problem Plaguing the “ExxonKnew” Lawfare Lawsuits" gelbspanfiles.com/?p=18393

I'm not a #lawyer, don't play one on TV. But how is what's seen here - lifting a FALSE accusation out of somebody else's 'homework' - NOT a problem worthy of deeper investigation? gelbspanfiles.com/?p=19692 "City of Birmingham Retirement and Relief System v Rex Tillerson, et al."

I'll further add that what we may see within the #lawsuit doc could be the end-of-the-line for the "ExxonKnew" lawsuits. If I am wrong about that, I'll say so in my upcoming dissection of it at my GelbspanFiles blog. If my mid-Dec 2025 guess was right, you'll see that news, too.
The #lawsuit docs for the "ExxonKnew" case filed in the UK are no longer M.I.A. I'll soon see if I need to pay the fee to get these, or if a friend will get them. For me, I see this development as the potential #LightAtTheEndOfTheTunnel on my own work. x.com/TheGelbspanFile/status…

I fly all the way to DC for #ICCC16 - turns out the 'Washington Monument' is just a plastic decoration on the conference host hotel's canopy. Kidding!! Great to see old friends again, added 15 more autographs to the NIPCC book copy Dr S Fred Singer gave me in 2009. Total now=110!

SCOTUS Agrees to Hear Case on Colorado Dispute over Climate Change; (it should throw that case and all the others out) | Russell Cook, Watts Up With That? I don’t just write about these things, I try to get something done. Upon learning the news on Feb 23 that the Supreme Court will be adding the effort to hear the concerns about the Suncor Energy Inc. v. County Commissioners of Boulder County situation, I fired off the verbatim email below to the main lawyer representing the energy companies (I spelled out the individual web links instead of embedding each one as I’ve done below; the bold highlighted words below where highlighted the same way in my email). It bothers me no end how the defendants in the “ExxonKnew” lawsuits argue endlessly on esoteric jurisdiction technicalities when the golden opportunity to outright kill each one of these lawsuits is practically right in front of them in every lawsuit where the claim is that they ran ‘disinformation campaigns.’ No, it’s the enviro-activists who are putting out the disinformation, and this whole lawfare effort is deserving of deep investigation for fraud activity by the Department of Justice. I don’t just write about that suggestion, either; I’ve put in to major tip efforts to the DoJ about it. —————————————————————- Mr Shanmugam, I just learned of the news about SCOTUS scheduling a hearing over the climate cases. Forgive me for the bluntness of my question, born out of frustration from my own documenting of the fatal faults in the current “ExxonKnew” lawsuits ever since they started appearing in 2017: Are the defendants in these cases literally unaware that the core accusation elements within essentially all of them in one form or another (Boulder v Suncor contains the false accusation against skeptic climate scientist Dr Willie Soon, apparently plagiarized out of the 2017 San Francisco v BP filing are all completely without merit? - These lawsuits make claims that two leaked memo sets – the notorious “reposition global warming” and the notorious “victory will be achieved” sets which were never implemented anywhere; - These lawsuits claim particular old newspaper advertorials prove disinformation campaigns happen where two of those ads were never actually published anywhere and the third ad that was published is disingenuously cropped to wipe out ad text that contains no disinformation; - These lawsuits make claims about Dr Willie Soon accepting Exxon bribes that are so false that they may stray into epic defamation territory (“List of the Climate Lawsuits Falsely Accusing Dr Willie Soon of Taking Exxon Bribes“) So . . . . why is it not argued that these lawsuits should be dismissed because they do not present a prima facie case that ‘industry disinformation campaigns employing skeptic scientists’ happened?? Why is it not suggested that the collective climate litigation lawfare efforts should be referred to the Department of Justice as possible instances of widespread fraud activity? (please see: “The Plagiarism Problem Plaguing the ‘ExxonKnew’ Lawfare Lawsuits — Summary for Policymakers“) Again, forgive my frustration on this matter. Set aside the angles about dubious science and Federal vs state jurisdiction – plaintiffs hand their heads on a silver platter to defendants over the blatantly false political accusations in these lawsuits. Please do feel free to ask me any questions you have about my decade-long work on this narrow angle of the climate issue. There’s much more to it all, I can elaborate at huge depth. – Russell Cook —————————————————————- I have my fun with popular movie lines in this blog occasionally to drive home points concerning the climate issue. The image below is one of those, the ‘bad guy’ in a particular movie who nevertheless had a line I can turn 180° against the promulgators of the “crooked skeptics” accusation. They think they are the good guy “Equalizer” bringing ‘justice to ClimaChange™ victims, and if they knew about me, they’d think I’m the bad guy. I’m not. I’m a threat to their entire agenda, as will be any major people with influence who can put a stop to all the lies and defamation and actual disinformation in the climate issue. wattsupwiththat.com/2026/03/…

Think about it: which personality type shows the public all aspects of #ClimateScience, and which type shuts that down and is planning to force everyone to comply via #lawfare court rulings?
"What the #ClimateIssue Is All About" gelbspanfiles.com/?p=19585 It AIN'T] about saving the planet from #ClimateCatastrophe. It's all about control.

When you take the time to tear apart what the #EnviroActivist promulgators hurl - and it does take time - you'll see EVERY time that it isn't the #FossilFuel companies who duped the public ... all the #disinformation out there in the #climate issue is on the enviro-activist side.
“The ‘Victory Memo’ Is the ‘Ugliest’ Document ... – NOT – gelbspanfiles.com/?p=19488 ... in #ClimateDenial History” The guy hands his head on a silver platter to #EnergyCompany #defendants in the 'ExxonKnew" #lawfare cases.

x.com/TheGelbspanFile/status… Followup to my Jan24 Tweet/X on my then-upcoming blog post – I'll add that another group of people who should be fired are 'news #reporters' (e.g. at the #NYT nytimes.com/2026/01/27/clima… ) who give this #lawfare a pass rather than seeing if it has any faults.

My dissection of "State of Michigan v BP" gelbspanfiles.com/?p=19380 2 big mistakes in AG Nessel's #ClimateLawfare effort, 1st bringing in unnecessary 'assisting outside #LawFirm'; 2nd, making #accusations she has no hope of proving. @EnergyInDepth @ClimateLitWatch @TomANelson

BIG mistake. (stay tuned at GelbspanFiles.com for my dissection of this one)

.@JMCDelingpole once said I have "terrier-like tenaciousness." It's why I'm back up to the Ofcom complaint level for a particular #BBC program which essentially accused a swath of people of corruption based on worthless 'industry memos.' @RogTallbloke @toadmeister @BiasedBBCblog
