Global Warming Hoax Setting Up Lawsuits
Since we obviously aren't going to ban the internal combustion engine, no matter how hysterically the Goracle screeches about apocalyptic doom, what exactly do liberals hope to gain with their relentless barrage of global warming propaganda? One answer is: grounds for lawsuits.
Lawsuits can be used to hurt your enemies, fatten your wallet, and impose your politics. For example, Taxachusetts and 11 other states are suing the EPA to force it to regulate so-called greenhouse gases, with potentially disastrous results for the economy.
California Attorney General Jerry Brown has backed a lawsuit against the big six automakers, on the grounds that they make cars and cars cause global warming. Now the former Governor Moonbeam wants to meet with the manufacturers to "discuss ways to fight global warming without conflict." This is the equivalent of the local mob calling for meetings with shopkeepers to discuss ways they can keep their front windows from getting broken.
Enviromoonbats are suing the US Fish and Wildlife Service as part of an attempt to close down what limited oil drilling is allowed in Alaska's wastelands. The suit relies on widespread ignorance of the fact that polar bears are aquatic animals with improbable claims that these vicious man-eating beasts are drowning as the ice melts under their feet — which somehow has something to do with the US Fish and Wildlife Service not doing enough to prevent oil drilling. Given the state of our legal system, the suit may be judged to have merit.
Smelling free money, Eskimos are suing because if the weather got warm enough, it could interfere with their lifestyle.
In 2005, a coalition of states tried to sue power companies for causing global warming. This absurd suit was thrown out, but they might have better luck next time. The climate is changing rapidly for the worse — and I'm not talking about the weather.
When you find yourself huddled in the cold dark because righteous liberal crusaders have sued the local power company out of existence for oppressing the polar bears, you won't just have environmentalists to thank; don't forget to thank lawyers too.
On a tip from Wiggins.

What worries me is the quote in the story about "the state of our legal system." That is a good way to put it. It is a shame that it has degenerated so far (much like our society).

Doesn’t there have to be a law that is being broken for you to start a law suit?
