SAN FRANCISCO, Sept 20 (Reuters) - California sued six of the world's largest automakers over global warming on Wednesday, charging that greenhouse gases from their vehicles have caused billions of dollars in damages.
The lawsuit is the first of its kind to seek to hold manufacturers liable for the damages caused by their vehicles' emissions, state Attorney General Bill Lockyer said.
It also comes less than a month after California lawmakers adopted the nation's first global warming law mandating a cut in greenhouse gas emissions.
An automaker trade group called the global warming move a "nuisance suit." Car manufacturers have also held up California state rules to force cuts in tailpipe emissions from cars and trucks with legal action of their own.

The solution to everything: deflect responsability and go to court. Hey, ignore the future, maybe it'll go away
C'mon, what is this shit? First the US doesn't give a flying f*ck about greenhouse gasses. Then CA issues a law mandating a cut in greenhouse gas emissions and NOT EVEN A MONTH LATER THEY SUE...
Someone please tell those dimwits the point is environmental protecten and not money leeching
