Agent Orange Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 Seems that American's are not content with suing burger chains and cigarette companies. The state of California are suing several motor companies for the damage their vehicles have caused to the environment. What the hell?! http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/5365728.stm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agent Orange Posted September 21, 2006 Author Share Posted September 21, 2006 I wonder how many of these people who have petitioned this action drive around in their sports utility vehicles that consume fuel at an alarming rate and expect to be compensated for the very pollution that they themselves chuck out. Instead of blaming the vehicle manufacturers, take account of your own damn actions and just stop driving those monster vehicles. Easy!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyclone Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 Isn't california alone the 4th worst poluting body in the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick2 Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 I knew they would find someone to sue, rather than take responsibility themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El-Mariachi Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 Seems that American's are not content with suing burger chains and cigarette companies. The state of California are suing several motor companies for the damage their vehicles have caused to the environment. What the hell?! http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/5365728.stm From what I've read its a tactical ploy. The car makers have ganged up to challenge California legislation re pollution, so the state has kind of counter sued in order to have a bargaining chip. Its just politics.

Cyclone Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 Maybe a private individual could start a class action suit for personal damages against the state as it's one of the worst polluters in the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick2 Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 Perhaps pedestrians here could sue motorists for the amount of crap they breath in from car exhausts ? Parents should definately be able to sue them for the damage it does to children. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
