Carmakers in California sued for global warming damages
With fast food restaurants being sued over fat content and gun manufacturers being sued over gun crimes it was only a matter of time before the nut jobs went after auto manufacturers. It is important to note that the state is suing the automakers for money. They are not suing to drive them out of the state to make their environment more pristine, they are suing because this is about cold hard cash. Forget the fact that those automobiles are not allowed on the road unless they meet the state emissions standards set by the legislature.
California filed a global warming lawsuit on Wednesday against Ford Motor Co., General Motors Corp., Toyota Motor Corp. and three other automakers, charging that greenhouse gases from their vehicles have cost the state millions of dollars.It is getting harder and harder to have faith in the future of this country as we continue to see out government cannibalize and vilify our industry.
