Green Affected Al Gore's Lawyer Slams Global Warming Suits
| 29 January 2010
Harvard Law Professor Laurence Tribe represented Al Gore in the disputed 2000 Supreme Court case against George W. Bush but that didn't stop him from attacking one of the favorite tactics of the anti-global warming crowd: Lawsuits. In an article posted today by the conservative Washington Legal Foundation, Tribe argues that federal judges have committed grave error by allowing global-warming suits to proceed instead of leaving the issue of limiting carbon emissions to Congress.
"Courts squander the social and political capital they need in order to do what may be politically unpopular ...when they yield to the temptatiuon to treat lawsuits as ubiquitously useful devices for making the world a better place," write Tribe and his coathors, Joshua D. Branson, a third-year at Harvard Law; and Tristan L. Duncan, a partner at Shook, Hardy & Bacon, the Kansas City law firm perhaps best known for defending Philip Morris and other tobacco companies.
In the brief but powerfully worded article, Tribe et al argue that courts since the days of Marbury vs. Madison have recognized that some questions are inherently political and can't be decided through litigation (Marbury, of course, is the famous case where the Supreme Court decided it couldn't decide poor Marbury's case but it did have the last word on whether laws are constitutional).

New revelations in the coming months will start to reveal the real damage already caused to the US economy, in particular manufacturing by the fraudulent climate science.
Bob Lutz, vice-chairman of General Motors, was just the beginning.
Obama's failure to address the climate change fraud fast and furiously will come back to haunt him, the ground swell of public opinion on this matter is exponentially bigger than they imagine and it is coming from the ground up.

"The government would assess a $175-per-cow fee to regulate carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases."
The UN mantra of Pachauri going to become a reality. Enjoy a steak or even a burger. Factor in all the other carbon taxes the farmer will pay for in feed, transport etc and get ready to pay twice the price. The US farmer is going to be crippled.
Good luck!
So why no outcry when the courts rule CO2 is a pollutant and could effect all mankind with deadly harm? Hold your breath and live.
