We're preparing for trial in this matter with Mr. Greenberg. Today's settlement with AIG and the suit against Mr. Greenberg both orbit around the same set of facts, but they're separate issues now.

The state settled for $37,500. There's not an admission of liability on the part of the state.

My understanding is that the law in New York is very vague when it comes to price gouging.

We're not sure how we can do that legally or logistically. How do we sift through all the claims to determine which ones have merit? We have a process ahead to figure that out.

We are disappointed that the court has taken an unduly narrow view of its power and obligation to decide cases that come before it. Because the science is clear that global warming poses a real and inevitable environmental threat with grave human consequences, we will appeal this decision and continue to work on other fronts to demand action on this critical problem.

When that audit is complete we'll get a copy of it. Our office will review it, and we'll take appropriate action if action is warranted.
