Even if global warming was a reality, I doubt we could do anything about it.

It may very well be part of the earth's natural climate.

Can we control weather now? lol :lol:

well its kind of past the point of no return at the moment because of our inability to tackle the situation so no we cant really do much about it now but it would help if we did something to alleviate the problem we could probally lessen the effects.

Looks like LA agrees:

California Attorney General Bill Lockyer is suing six car manufacturers for selling products which contribute to global warming and damage the environment of California.

The state is seeking recompense for past and future damage being done to the its environment and water supply.

California is taking the action against Chrysler, General Motors, Ford, Toyota, Honda, and Nissan. The car makers are accused of making and maintaining a public nuisance by producing vehicles which "collectively emit massive quantities of carbon dioxide".
The complaint notes that 289m tons of carbon dioxide are emitted by vehicles produced by the six manufacturers each year in the US. This represents nine per cent of the world's carbon dioxide emissions and some 30 per cent of emissions in California.

Lockyer said in a statement: "Global warming is causing significant harm to California's environment, economy, agriculture, and public health. The impacts are already costing millions of dollars and the price tag is increasing. Vehicle emissions are the single most rapidly growing source of the carbon emissions contributing to global warming, yet the federal government and automakers have refused to act. It is time to hold these companies responsible for their contribution to this crisis."

Global Warming Public Nuisance Complaint

On September 20th 2006, Lockyer filed a lawsuit against what his office refers to as "the big six automakers" for their alleged contributions to the global warming problem. Initial reaction was mixed, with some environmental groups being supportive, and an auto industry trade calling it a "nuisance suit". A similar suit in New York had been dismissed by a federal court and is now on appeal.
