It’s almost like this is some sort of scam
Green activists trying to force New York to enact climate change laws rake in more than $100M
They’re putting some real green into eco activism.
Environmental activist groups that sued to force Gov. Kathy Hochul to ram through the state’s controversial green laws are rolling in greenbacks — with several reporting revenues of over $100 million.
Earthjustice, one of the plaintiffs in the lawsuit, has $139 million in revenues and $244 million in net assets, according to its most recent 2024 tax filing.
Another plaintiff, the Sierra Club, has $173 million in revenue, according to its 2023 tax filing, the most recent.
Those groups and others accused Hochul of improperly stalling to draft rules on how the state would implement the Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act of 2019, which aims to reduce carbon emissions.
The scam sure is enriching, eh?
A state Supreme Court judge sided with the activists last fall and ordered the state to issue the rules to implement the law.
Hochul has since proposed amending the law to stretch out the compliance timetable, saying the lofty were impractical and causing costs to skyrocket.
“We cannot meet the Climate Act’s 2030 targets without imposing new and additional crushing costs on New York businesses and residents,” Hochul said.
If even Governor Kathy can see how bad this is, it must be way, way worse. And NY is already losing tons of businesses, and lots of revenue. They do not need to give even more incentive to leave.
You don’t expect the activists to activist for free, do you?
Neither Mr Teach nor Murdoch’s NY Post explained how the Sierra Club or Earthjustice make money off implementing the rule as decided by the NY Supreme Court.
Here’s the sum total of the argument: The environmental advocates each have millions in assets from donations. How dare they advocate for the environment!
We get it. The pro-pollution cabal wants to pollute without paying for damages.
On the other hand, the Mad King’s massive “tax” on gasoline has been a huge boost to global EV sales!!! This year HE has increased his wealth by more than the total resources of the Sierra Club and Earthjustice combined!! And they didn’t destroy a third of OUR White House without permission OR invade 2 countries OR cover up a pedophile ring!!!
Also, Mr Murdoch needs to hire a story editor.
