    Not a big fan of lawyers, but there's going to be unlimited targets of massive sized lawsuits, if the predictions of glabal warming come anywhere true. Can you imagine if the majority of just manhattan gets submerged? How much did the lawyers who sued tobacco make? Can you say cha ching?

    How about all owners of gas guzzlers & general energy wasters. I guess that just about most of the population so that'll keep them busy. Alternately how about the government for not taking the lead and encouraging people to live within their carbon means.

    No one's innocent of this, just some folks recognise the problem and try to do something about it now rather than later.

    Of course the SUV drivers will play the part, but unfortunately, they don't have the deep pockets that lawyers like to target. I'm likening the situation to the tobacco industry and their experience with lawsuits.
