Could be interesting.

New religionists are apparently going to sue bad companies for making the sky angry.

Victims of Hurricane Katrina are seeking to sue carbon gas-emitting multinationals for helping fuel global warming and boosting the 2005 storm.
The class action suit brought by residents from southern Mississippi, which was ravaged by hurricane-force winds and driving rains, was first filed just weeks after the August 2005 storm hit.

Yeah, I'd forgotten but I remember hearing it remember now.

"The plaintiffs allege that defendants' operation of energy, fossil fuels, and chemical industries in the United States caused the emission of greenhouse gasses that contributed to global warming," say the documents seen by the AFP news agency.

This is the sort of thing sceptics have been needing for years: someone daft enough to blame nature doing what nature does on someone else and take them to court. Courts have to deal in evidence and not only is there little or no evidence that warble gloaming caused Katrina to flood New Orleans (as opposed to the a priori conclusion that building a city below sea level was bound to be a disaster sooner or later even if the dykes were being properly looked after, which they weren't) but the whole climategate, glaciergate, Pachaurigate, etceteragate business has made the whole alarmist position that much shakier. So much doubt in so many minds now... I'm sure the oil companies would fucking love to go to court right now. For that reason I expect a lot of stalling to happen in the hope that Big Eco's spin machine can recover and get the alarmist agenda going again.
