THE HOCKEY SCHTICK: The journal Nature suggests billions of people could be sued for legal breach of duty to care for the climate

This just in: the June 2011 edition of the journal Nature Climate Change entertains the wonderful notion that billions of people worldwide could be sued for "legal breach of their duty of care to the climate" by individually exceeding the worldwide average carbon dioxide footprint. The apparently frustrated journal laments that "only if a case came to be judged on its merits [pity the thought], would the 'science' of climate change be called upon to help make the case: even then, there are difficulties."
