In a landmark ruling, a US judge endorsed a lawsuit charging two federal agencies with wrongly funding international oil and gas projects that promote global warming, court documents showed.The science is in question. The cause is undetermined. Whether there is a need to change things is under debate. The outcome -- good or bad -- is a matter of opinion. And we're filing lawsuits. Yes, "lawsuits", plural. On the positive side you'll find these stories:
Judge Loretta Preska dismissed a global warming lawsuit brought by the Attorneys General of eight states and the city of New York and two private citizen groups against American Electric Power Co., Inc., Cinergy Corp., Southern Co., Xcel Energy Inc. and the Tennessee Valley Authority. (Source)It's good news that there are judges who are dismissing these nonsense suits. It's bad news that there are not merely misguided citizens, but states that are bringing these lawsuits. Then we have a state senator who decided to file a lawsuit against God. Will it never end?
A federal judge in San Francisco on Monday poked a gaping hole in California's bid to make the auto industry pay for any contributions it makes to global warming. (Source)
In years gone by, baseball was America's pastime. Now, it looks like litigation is surpassing baseball, with "stupid litigation" closing quickly.

"Man-made" global warming is all about money. Add to that a fertile soil like a courtroom for lunacy to prevail and you have a cash cow.
At least it's keeping Mr. Gore out of the White House - he's making too much money doing what he's doing to stop. We just have to think of something to keep Hillary out....
