The subpoena by the attorney general of the Virgin Islands to get documents from Exxon in connection with a possible RICO prosecution concerning global warming has been withdrawn. It's all part of a settlement in which Exxon agreed to withdraw its suit against the VI Attorney General for violations of constitutional rights etc. It's interesting to see the attorney general crumble in the face of a strong counter-attack by Exxon. The whole idea of prosecuting Exxon under RICO with regard to global warming has always been a stupid one. Hopefully, it will get the rapid death that it deserves.
