Wired News: States Sue Over Global Warming
Ten states fired a new legal salvo at the federal government Thursday in a long-running court battle over global warming and pollution from power plants.The states, joined by environmental groups, sued the Environmental Protection Agency over its decision not to regulate carbon dioxide pollution as a contributor to global warming.
I think we will see a lot more of this. First states will sue, then we will see Farmers sue, then people and communities whose property is swallowed by water etc…
Local governments also share the blame with ridiculous zoning laws that make it necessary for people to drive pretty much everywhere, and that encourage the conversion of open space to McMansions and strip malls.
