As Twitchy reported earlier, New York City has filed suit against several major oil companies over global warming, with Mayor Bill de Blasio saying, “We’re bringing the fight against climate change straight to the fossil fuel companies that knew about its effects and intentionally misled the public to protect their profits.”
Apparently, to commemorate the lawsuit, de Blasio has the Empire State Building lit up in green Wednesday night.
The Empire State Building is shining green tonight because it's time to put our planet first. #DivestNY

The Empire State Building is 102 floors. What exactly are you using to power all this? https://t.co/siLO7nR7Um

Let’s put the planet first, after we turn on all the lights. And kill a groundhog. https://t.co/HElCxNc8Ww

When you unleash giant arrays of electric lights to show support for environmentalism. https://t.co/Se2DviTbFj

*also, wastes energy virtue signaling that he wants to save the earth* https://t.co/fIq4WEcOVM— Cameron Wallace (@cam_wallaceee) January 11, 2018
Does illuminating a skyscraper actually "put our planet first" or is it, like your tweet, just dopey virtue signaling? 🤔 https://t.co/do6Bggx2j3

So are you using lollipop & rainbow goodness to power those lights? https://t.co/EXn7vBofGx

Shouldn't they have just…um…turned the lights off instead? https://t.co/lQNOZe97vz

You should probably turn off the lights to save energy then. https://t.co/UnThXzhm8J

Because nothing says “save the planet” quite like an energy-intensive building made from energy-intensive mined & refined non-renewable resources. https://t.co/QKzCc9sxQg

Hey, hey Bill, when you're done with saving the planet with colored lighting, think maybe you could take a peek at the whole "NYC mass transit crumbling beneath us" thing? https://t.co/gPvDS6gdmS

It's like he's trying to put NY in play for Republicans. https://t.co/Ehc3Ol6VUb

I hope the Democratic Party nominates this far-left putz in 2020 so Republicans can win over 40 states. https://t.co/nmnu91IneH
