Bill Allows Citizens to Sue for Climate Change Damages

"Victims" of climate change would be able to sue the federal government or private businesses over greenhouse gas emissions under language buried in the House climate bill, according to a report in the Washington Times.

Under the provision, anyone "who has suffered, or reasonably expects to suffer, a harm attributable, in whole or in part," to government inaction to file a "citizen suit."

The term “harm” is broadly defined as “any effect of air pollution (including climate change), currently occurring or at risk of occurring.”

“You could be spawning lawsuits at almost any place [climate-change modeling] computers place at harm’s risk,”

According to the Washington Times report, under the House bill, if a judge rules against the government, new rules would have to be put in play to correct the 'problems' associated with climate change.
