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.

They refuse to find alternate fuels because it's more cost effective in the short term to simply run out all the oil on the planet. *If* someone were to make the car that runs on water and exhausts vapor, life would be a lot easier for everyone; everyone, that is, except oil execs. The reason I support their suit, besides my personal opinions about global warming, is that the oil execs need to understand that there are people out there that can and will hold them responsible for their actions, even if the federal government can't. It's easy to bribe a few government officials. It's damn near impossible to bribe everyone effected by their decision.
