Crooks of a feather, flock together.

A foundation established by the family who made more money from Bernie Madoff’s fraud than anyone else – including Madoff himself – is funding climate lawsuits aimed at implementing the disastrous Green New Deal. …

… [Barbara Picower] used her husband’s estate to establish the JPB Foundation, which is now spending millions of dollars funding climate lawsuits that seek billions in damages with the goal of bankrupting the fossil fuel industry or forcing energy producers to adopt emissions caps and other environmentalist ideals.

A San Francisco-based law firm called Sher Edling LLP represents multiple cities, states, and counties suing the fossil fuel energy, alleging they are responsible for climate change and natural disasters. But the legal expenses accrued by these lawsuits aren’t paid by the municipalities — they’re covered by a network of left-wing dark money organizations, including the Collective Action Fund, which has given more than $8 million to Sher Edling between 2017 and 2021, according to Energy In Depth, a research organization that debunks climate activist narratives.

The Picower’s JPB Foundation has donated at least $4.45 million to the Collective Action Fund, according to the Capital Research Center.

The foundation has also given at least $1 million to the Climate Judiciary Project, another radical climate organization, Real Clear Politics reported.

If environmentalists can’t achieve their goals of collapsing civilization through the legislative process, they turn to the courts to get what they want. They intentionally countries, like China and India, who are worse polluters than the United States and it would not be surprising if China had a hand in this lawfare that, if successful, would cost almost $500 billion annually, according to the American Enterprise Institute.

But, for people, like Barbara Picower, they don’t face the consequences of their actions and think they can tell other people how to live because they have a lot of money.
