Here we go again

[xcamel]

Is there just no stopping these MORONS ?????

[Thebaddog]

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?

[Dreagon]

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

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.

I'm waiting for someone who is unemployed to sue the enviro-terriorests because of loss of employment!

[the invisib1e hand]

bring it on, as they say.

[FlingWingFlyer]

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.

[goodnesswins]

Hmmmmm.....wonder if we can sue the UN for ineptness? If I were a Nigerian or Sudanese I'd be trying....

[wallace144]

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?

[harpo11]

Junk Judges and Junk Science.

[American Quilter]

I wanted it to rain today, but it didn't. I'm a victim! Who can I sue?

[SuzyQue]

Wow - it's Crichton's "State of Fear". Great book - his plot is very similar to this story.

[MarkL]

I can't wait until they sue a volcano!

..a Vermont attorney representing Friends of the Earth.

They should stick to making sandals and syrup in Vermont and leave science to scientists instead of the Tort punks.

[hombre_sincero]

One more "judge" that needs immediate impeachment. do not pass go - do not collect 200 rubles.

To hell with them if our politicians and other so-called representatives don't do their jobs and trash these POS lawyer scums.

Oh - I forgot - most of them are lawyers themselves - that's why they refuse.

[Torie]

The decision is pretty narrow. It was about standing, not the merits, or whether a cause of action was stated. The latter issue comes next. Just what the basis is for the standing is not stated in the article.

[TheForceOfOne]

A federal judge here said.....

Ah! the key to the whole mess, when we clean up the SCOTUS this BS will end and with it the arrogance of the left. There days are numbered.
