US Judge Throws Out State Global-Warming Suit Against Automakers

SAN FRANCISCO - A federal judge in San Francisco has thrown out a lawsuit that the state attorney general filed against the six largest automakers, in what had been billed as a novel attempt to hold the companies financially liable for global warming.

The suit alleged that carmakers have damaged the state's natural resources and created a public nuisance by producing "millions of vehicles that collectively emit massive quantities of carbon dioxide." Those emissions required major expenses in firefighting and other areas, the suit said.
