Perhaps we should get the guvmint out of such esoteric undertakings to avoids such lawsuits in the future.

Does this mean I can sue McDonalds for all the garbage thrown in my yard by bird watchers who eat at McDonalds?

So basically, a judge just opened a back door to usurp the legislature and take over environmental policy.

Abusers of the legal system are also its destroyers.

It's getting to the point where all federal judges need to take an annual IQ test to keep their bench.

There is a lot of good science that debunks this Global Warming poppycock. I hope the attorneys for the plaintiffs bring all of it out in open court.

"This is the first decision in the country to say that climate change causes sufficient injury to give a plaintiff standing, to open the courthouse door," said Ronald Shems, a Vermont attorney representing Friends of the Earth. What a combination, an a***ole and a moron!
The decision said no such thing!
The decision (still to be validated) is that this judge believes that they have standing to sue. I disagree.
Whether climate change can be shown to be man-made (I love the "climate change" gambit), and consequently actionable is a whole other thing.
I see a few thousand amici curiae signing on to prove the plaintiffs are fraudulent, ignorant imbeciles, with a wannabe cavedweller death wish.

This Judge was appointed in 2002 by GDubya.

Jeffrey White is the kind of activist jughead we need to get rid of. Little Jeffrey, Jeffrey, Jeffrey thinks he's some kind of little god. What the hell does a "judge" know about science? Global warming HAS NEVER BEEN PROVEN. This jughead White needs to stay on familiar ground and disregard everything that this bunch of anti-capitalist wackos tell him.

So IF they were actually able to prove global warming and IF they were able to prove some sort of damages, who gets a share of the judgment, everyone on the planet?
