JOHN YOO, MICHAEL TOTH: Aloha State lawsuits push radical climate agenda
Hawaii is currently engaged in litigation against the oil and gas industry, alleging climate-related harms. The lawsuits notably exclude the state's only refinery, which has ties to political leaders through campaign donations. Critics argue that these legal actions reflect political corruption and question the impartiality of the judiciary involved in the cases.
