They certainly do NOT predict local effects such as: the effect of warming will be a rise of 2 degrees C in New York by 2100. Actually the models do make predictions locally. See the world map titled Global Warming Predictions (about halfway down) from here: en.wikipedia.org Even if they did, how could you build litigation around that, except in the normal sense that a clever lawyer can litigate anything, especially when a mass hysteria is running his way. All I'm wanting to do currently is track use. Each time you buy greenhouse producing items (gas, energy, etc) it gets tracked in an account. Said account is part of your estate. It may or may not be a liability in the future. If future science is good enough to hold up in court, and says that each gallon of gas purchased in 2007 should have come with an extra $3 charge for mitigation payable to Botswana natives, so be it. We know who to bill because we have the records. Just a method of making people realise that they are accountable for their actions, thats all. How do you even tell, in the midst of the flux of human comings and goings and other natural changes, what is attributable to global warming? Science has a history of only getting better. 100 years from now I'm pretty sure that the models for climate change will be damn good, not to mention that they will be trying to determine what caused change previously where there will be a wealth of data, not predicting it. So all the talk about chaos does not apply.
