California

California announced yesterday that it's suing the nation's six largest automakers for causing Global Warming. From the referenced article:
The lawsuit does not seek a specific claim for damages. The complaint said the state is spending millions of dollars on planning, monitoring and making infrastructure changes to address "a large spectrum of current and anticipated impacts.''
Hey Callie. Speaking of "infrastructure changes", did GM and Honda make you build this?
What a crock. Fucking lawyers.

Going forward, I'm going to report on our anticipated cremation by following the daily climate reports as posted on the Twin Cities' National Weather Service site. At the very least, this exercise will force me to post more frequently. Maybe it'll assuage some unnecessary fears.

9/20/06 Observed high temp - 58
9/20/05 Observed high temp - 83
9/20 Record high temp - 91 - in 1895, 1908, 1931

Looks like we'll live to see another day. Phew.

There must be some countersuit. Maybe we could sue California for the mental distress caused by all the worthless entertainment they have provided over the year.
