Sept. 20 (Bloomberg) -- General Motors Corp., Ford Motor Co. and four other automakers were sued by California for making vehicles that contribute to global warming, causing pollution and erosion that costs the state millions of dollars.

The lawsuit filed today in U.S. District Court in Oakland said General Motors, Ford, Toyota Motor Corp., DaimlerChrysler AG, Honda Motor Co. and Nissan Motor Co., the six largest automakers in the U.S., have created a ``public nuisance'' by making millions of vehicles that emit huge quantities of carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas that contributes to global warming.

The suit, which seeks damages related to pollution, beach erosion and reduced water supplies, is the latest action by California to push businesses and the federal government to address global warming. The legislature approved a measure last month to force utilities to cut emissions, and the state has sued the U.S. for failing to address the effects of global warming.

``Vehicle emissions are the single most rapidly growing source of the carbon emissions contributing to global warming, yet the federal government and the automakers have refused to act,'' said California Attorney General Bill Lockyer in a statement.

California has already targeted carmakers with rules that would require them to lower emissions. The state enacted rules in 2004 that would force them to cut the amount of carbon dioxide and other tailpipe gases by up to 30 percent in cars sold in the state. Several other states have adopted or are weighing similar rules.

Did Al Gore move to Calif? We should sue Calif for letting their emissions drift across the country and polluted our air and rain water which resulted in stunting Kasey's growth when he aspirations of being an NBA superstar! They really do need to go away. If we all jump up and down at the same time, do you think we can make them slide off into the ocean?

Idiots. This is why anything auto related needs to be pulled from state control. Home rule bites.

Please, Superman should have let Lex Luthor end Cali and put them into the Ocean.

Sue California for putting out movies depicting gang violence that has spread ideas across the country, resulting in just about every felony charge imaginable.

Sueing the auto makers is as stupid as that woman who sued McDonalds for burning herself on coffee.

Doh!

Hey, maybe we should all stop breathing too, since we're turning oxygen into carbon dioxide. Oh, and i guess we should stop producing carbonated drinks too.
