Oh, this is delicious.

Trial Lawyers, Inc. — like any big conglomerate with a diverse “product line” — are always looking for new growth markets.

The Fifth Circuit has just handed them one: victims of hurricanes can sue oil companies over global warming — you know, because carbon dioxide drives up global temperatures, which causes sea-level rise, and that makes hurricanes more ferocious. It’s as plain as day. Haven’t you seen An Inconvenient Truth?

Needless to say, we’ll be keeping tabs to see if this survives the full Fifth Circuit court.
