New York City just came off its coldest holiday season in the city’s history.

New York City set a RECORD COLD record on January 1st.

De Blasio wants to punish these companies with a junk science lawsuit.
The Chicago Tribune reported:
New York City is suing five major oil companies, claiming they have contributed to global warming.

The defendants in the city’s federal lawsuit are BP, Chevron, ConocoPhillips, Exxon Mobil and Royal Dutch Shell.
A BP spokesman declined comment. A Shell spokesman said climate change is a complex issue that should not be addressed by the courts. The other three did not immediately comment.
