Global warming has quickly become one of the most heated issues in America (pun intended). Rising temperatures and melting icebergs are indisputable evidence that the Earth is warming, but is this global heat wave a man-made crisis or just overblown hype?

Sue the IPCC and the EPA
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Control knows that there is a process likely to be able to stop the statistical increase in climate disasters in short order. This process, known as geoengineering, was mentioned in the back pages of the executive summary of the last mitigation report in 2007 in a rather discouraging way. I'm sure the Environmental Protection Agency is also aware of geoengineering.
In fact, the National Academy of Science. in summarizing the output of a meeting of March 30/31 under the congressionally mandated program America's Climate Choices, said geoengineering is the only approach which can impact climate over the next 2 to 3 decades.
The basis for the suit, is - knowing that there is a probable solution to alleviating the statistical increase in climate disasters, these organizations have not acted to study geoengineering approaches; and so are responsible for untold deaths from increased tornado and hurricane activity, droughts and heat waves around the world. It is as if there were a new disease likely to kill millions of people and the Federal Drug Administration held back on a vaccine which could prevent these (statistical) deaths!!
