California sues carmakers over greenhouse gaseshttp://money.cnn.com/2006/09/20/news/companies/suit_automakers.reut/index.htm?postversion=2006092013 Ford, GM and Toyota among six automakers charged in groundbreaking suit that contends companies cost state millions because of vehicle emissions. September 20 2006: 4:13 PM EDT 
SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) -- California sued six of the world's largest automakers over global warming Wednesday, charging that greenhouse gases from their vehicles have caused billions of dollars in damages.....
-----------------------------

It may be from inhaling those warm ocean breezes? It seems as if California has attempted to set a precedent and go after automakers for global warming and it's negative affects in the state of California.  Apparently California has forgot that for scores of years they have received tax revenues on automobile sales, annual automobile registration fees, automobile traffic citations and fines... and that they use automobiles also (ie. police cars, SUV's, motorcycles, 4x4's, etc).

Who will be the first group of Californians filing a class action lawsuit of complicity against California for the state's long term support and accomplice role in the dastardly acts of global warming which California has now sued the automakers for?

This might just turn out to be a great time to be a fleabag lawyer in California.

Gezzz, next thing you know they will have actors running for office...lol. If there is any justice, the settlement will be that all the car owners in Cali receive a horse in trade for their car. Problem solved....and then they can clean up a new kind of emission.

Works for me.

Quebec has been trying to secede from Canada for years.  Of course, they have no industrial base, agricultural base, etc., to support themselves, so it would immediately become a third world country surrounded by an industrial giant.

The thing about Californians is they pass sensible laws.  One great example is the balanced budget law.  Our state government has to balance the state budget every year.  We cannot engage in compulsive deficit spending.

I am not a big fan of the Governator, but after the sound beating he got in his special election last year he has gone back to being a centrist with a brain in his head.

Might want to consider what would happen if California were to secede.  Look what happened when PMA locked out the longshore union for 10 days in 2002.  The net cost to the entire country was something like 54 billion dollars for just one of our industries.  I imagine you people would not enjoy it if we took our industry and food and commerce and went to play in our own sandbox for a change.

Be careful what you wish for, you might just get it.

Wow such hatefulness! I loved Atlanta when I was there, but I did not encounter haters there, just very nice people. Just because there are a couple of mean hateful people in Georgia doesn't mean the whole state is flawed

I can just imagine what it's like now.
LOL@ "The Golden State" it's like a ghetto state now with all the "no-speaks".
All those car cos have to do is stop shipping cars to Calif for a few weeks. That'll stop the lawsuit.

Julia, what you call a hater, I call a man concerned about the regularity of my bowel movements, and the amount of iron and folic acid I am getting in my diet.

You say potAto, I say potAHto.

Just me, etc.

No hatefulness, merely a wish.  If the spinach is good enough for the rest of the country, why not political whiners in California where the tainted spinach is grown, and many Californians profit from it?

Personally, yes I do hate spinach.

Status: offline 		I don't have anything against californians...but that lawsuit is absolutely ridiculous in my opinion. Maybe the state should also sue every person who drives a car, or the producers of products in areosol cans,  and those who have used them.

Quote taken from the above website.
"The scientific community has reached a strong consensus regarding the science of global climate change.   The world is undoubtedly warming.  This warming is largely the result of emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases from human activities including industrial processes, fossil fuel combustion, and changes in land use, such as deforestation. "

So....why  focus on the car companies?

My my you are talented at putting words in other's mouths... but to be correct, no not all Georgians... only the belly aching political cry baby whiner Georgians who do nothing besides piss and moan.

So "you" grow more peaches in Cali, eh? I didn't know you were Mexican, congrats and kay pasa Holmes!

Who fired the first shot in the Civil War? You guessed wrong last time, then tap danced once corrected, still straught on that?

Status: offline 		      Hehehehe.  It would really suck if all those carmakers being sued decided they had to get all their assets out of CA.  Not that seeing beyond the sound bite of the moment is common here in the Granola state.  The libs around here remind me of the sheep in "Animal Farm,"  not an original thought or coherent plan in their feeble heads.  Corporations ba-a-ad. 

      Shee-it, Jerry Brown is even trying for a comeback.

Now wait a sec!  I'm born and raised and in California and I love organically grown spinach!  Well except for the tainted stuff :)  I dunno...e-coli or pesticidal cancer...that's a tough one, lol.

This lawsuit is ridiculous.  All those who complain about gas from autos do not realize that the effects of car cas is but one tiny fraction compared to to airline fuel - huh.  Go figure.  I know - we can try MTBE again, wasn't THAT a success story!!

Anyway, please do not paint us all with the same brush.  There truly are sane folk out here...no, really!

I do not attack people on this board Rich, wanting people to send their own kids instead of mine for a war they started is not hate filled,.. it is called "justice". I have nothing against Bush's daughters, but I certainly think that those who start wars should sacrifice their children for them.. call me odd for thinking that, but hey, it is just an opinion
