Let us assume Exxon Mobil suddenly aligns with the ideals of the anti-climate-change-brigade (like the state), and pulls the plug on all Oil and Fossil fuel business. All other companies follow suit. What plans does the state have to provide altnerate sources of energy? Zilch! (Remember in this scenario, Norway will collapse economically, from what I recall).

No only is the lawsuit frivolous, it also indicates short-sightedness on the part of the State, not to metion, a huge waste of taxpayer money. I also believe this to be a case of "virtue signaling" and selective outrage than any meaningful change.

Climate change to me is not black-and-white, there are infinite shades of gray. I think firstly the word "crisis" should be disassociated from "climate change".

(I also know my response will be downvoted and I will be told so, which is another case of virtue signaling. As I stated earlier, I don't write for the HN brownie points).
