Simply unbelievable..................EXCLUSIVE: Climate bill could trigger lawsuit landslide Allows action from those 'expected to suffer' By Tom LoBianco (Contact) \| Friday, April 10, 2009 Self-proclaimed victims of global warming or those who "expect to suffer" from it - from beachfront property owners to asthmatics - for the first time would be able to sue the federal government or private businesses over greenhouse gas emissions under a little-noticed provision slipped into the House climate bill. The measure sets grounds for anyone "who has suffered, or reasonably expects to suffer, a harm attributable, in whole or in part," to government inaction to file a "citizen suit." The term "harm" is broadly defined as "any effect of air pollution (including climate change), currently occurring or at risk of occurring." washingtontimes.com
