Consumer group reveals left-wing groups increasingly using courts to push Green New Deal

EXCLUSIVE: Left-wing interest groups and Democrats have launched a concerted effort in recent years to push climate policies through so-called public nuisance lawsuits.

"Public nuisance cases aren't about putting money in the hands of victims," Alliance for Consumers Executive Director O.H. Skinner told Fox News Digital in an interview. "Public nuisance cases are about creating a big pot of money to ‘abate the nuisance.’ And that money doesn't go to victims or consumers or any of the traditional people who you would think would be the good guys in a lawsuit against a giant company." Thomas Catenacci is a politics writer for Fox News Digital.

"There's been far too little attention to that. So, we've really been spending a lot of time highlighting that these are really ideological weapons, because public nuisance is a unique tool to generate billions of dollars for pet causes and bankrupt, or risk bankrupting, somebody you don't like," Skinner continued. "If you want to end firearm manufacturing in America, if you want to cripple fossil fuels or energy companies, this is a very unique tool."
