Is anyone saying we need to immediately pull the plug on 100% of oil and fossil fuel use? I haven't seen any serious climate change plans that propose that.

Also, this lawsuit seems to be about deceptive business practices (misleading statements, lies), so I'm not sure how your comment is relevant. It's perfectly possible to run a business while also being honest about its deleterious effects.

No, but they are saying that with respect to energy over ten years, and they are quite serious:

"The Green New Deal starts with a WWII-type mobilization to address the grave threat posed by climate change, transitioning our country to 100% clean energy by 2030" -- gp.org/green_new_deal
