Lawyers and NGOs smell blood. They are trying to use the court system to get damages for climate related disasters from companies responsible for emitting carbon dioxide. So far, no damages have been paid out by the courts. That's a good thing, because it seems like lawyers and NGOs want to be able to sue any company emitting greenhouse gasses for any negative weather event. There would a giant swooshing sound as more resources in the economy flowed out of productive enterprises into the hands of lawyers.
