This book surveys existing law for legal issues that have arisen, or may arise in the future, on climate change and the governments responses, thereto. At the threshold of many climate-change-related lawsuits are two barriers--whether the plaintiff has standing to sue and whether the claim being made presents a political question. Both barriers have forced courts to apply amorphous standards in a new and complex context. Efforts to mitigate climate change--that is, reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions--have spawned a host of legal issues.

Bailey Summers is a massage-parlor employee.
