By failing to take action against global warming, the federal government has violated its legal obligation to protect the atmosphere as a resource that belongs to everyone, according to a lawsuit filed in federal court last week.

Five of the plaintiffs are teenagers, who have a "profound interest in ensuring our climate remains stable enough to ensure their right to a livable future," according to the suit filed May 4, which names a number of federal officials — from Lisa Jackson, head of the Environmental Protection Agency, to Robert Gates of the Defense Department — as defendants.

Teenagers?  Even if ordinary adults, neither has standing.

Does the fricken word frivolous mean anything anymore?!

Geez, what assclowns!

While I would love a fair trial of AGW/Climate Change/Global Warming/Global Cooling, you ain't gonna get a good case from fricken Jackson or Gates!

And Hansen?  The only job he should have his ball-washer in a federal pen!
