All members born and raised in metro areas have asthma, none born and raised in suburban or rural areas have it. Aparently, my family isn't an anomaly:
Study Links Air Pollution and Asthma
Researchers Link Childhood Asthma to Exposure to Traffic-related Pollution
Researchers Link Childhood Asthma to Exposure to Traffic-related Pollution(again)
Link Strengthened between Air Pollution, Asthma

Lots of people have been killed by cars too.

I'd not be surprised if there was a link between asthma and polution, but thats not what they are suing for. They are basically blaming automakers for causing global warming and costing California money. Its almost to inane to be insane.

Are they going to sue the cattle industry next? Methane production from cow farts is far worse in terms of greenhouse gasses than CO2. Perhaps they should sue people next for breathing and farting.

I thought it got silly when cities tried to sue gun companies, but this is assinine.
