Alaska town sues over global warming - USATODAY.com: "ANCHORAGE (AP) — A tiny Alaska village eroding into the Arctic Ocean sued two dozen oil, power and coal companies Tuesday, claiming that the large amounts of greenhouse gases they emit contribute to global warming that threatens the community's existence."

The Inupiat village of Kivalina is built on a barrier reef. The reef is now exposed to heavy storm waves because of the reduced sea ice and it is eroding. Apparently this is the fault of the oil industry? I assume this case will be tied up in demurrer and dismissal motions and then go up on appeal, so don't expect the big Global Warming Trial anytime soon.
