Energy companies seek dismissal in Hawaii climate lawfare case

(The Center Square) – Energy companies being sued by the city of Honolulu over climate change accusations have motioned for summary judgment, stating that Hawaii’s two-year statute of limitations makes the plaintiffs’ case unsubstantial.

The City and County of Honolulu “seek to impose liability on a small group of Defendants for what Plaintiffs label the ‘cascading social, economic, and other consequences’ of global climate change,” according to a memorandum in support of the motion.
