http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/7169200.stm - California is suing the US federal government, in an attempt to force car makers to conform to tougher cuts in greenhouse gas emissions.
The American Government could not have gotten themselves shot in the foot better, or; given the entire global populations of relatively superior intellects, a better joke.
It's like the baby finally realises that the daily cereals he's having are derived from GM crops and have decided to tell his parents to shove it and bugger off. "What the f**k you trying to do daddy?! Kill me!??"
(ok ok i admit GM crops are as yet arguable in their detrimental effects, but, didn't belly-bulging, coat-wearing corporate boffins of the oil industry also said that climate change and global warming were arguably dubious and cast it aside like soiled undies?)
At least of the 50 children that woman with the flaming torch have borne, 15 others are joining California in this cause.
Let's hope it's a repeat of landmark, overwhelming, far-ranging, carpeting legislation that Rachel Carson brought about from the DDT episode.
The good thing abt this case, is that America DID finally admit that there was substantial evidence to the human factor in the equation of carbon gas emissions, which means that California has it's work cut in half for them.
I'll be watching the news with glee, and popcorn.
