Guest guest Posted August 29, 2002 Report Share Posted August 29, 2002 U.S. FACES LEGAL BATTLES AS CLIMATE BOGEYMAN The United States faces new challenges in the courts over its climate policies despite its denials that as the world's biggest polluter it is responsible for global warming. Wednesday the government of tiny Pacific island state Tuvalu said it planned to launch lawsuits within a year against the United States and Australia. Both have rejected the Kyoto climate pact. The country, which is only 13 feet above sea level at its highest point, faces oblivion if scientists' gloomy scenarios prove right and global warming causes the sea to rise.
