"But District Judge Martin Jenkins in San Francisco handed California Attorney General Jerry Brown's environmental crusade a stinging rebuke when he ruled that it was impossible to determine to what extent automakers are responsible for global-warming damages in California. Many culprits, including other industries and even natural sources, are responsible for emitting carbon dioxide."

So there is a sane judge (or at least semi-sane, I did not read the 24 page opinion) in San Fran. I wish he had cited automobile buyers and automobile users among the others responsible for emitting carbon dioxide, or breathers for that matter. It would have been more pointed. And I don't like the word 'culprits' in the report. Things like that have an effect on public opinion, little by little.

There will be companies like this one that WILL change the face of the planet....THEN what will the Middle East do for a living? They have nothing but oil, and hopefully one of these days, they will have only oil and very few customers.
