about that climate change lawsuit

re: This post about California vs. oil companies

"To prepare for it, William Alsup, the judge presiding over two of the lawsuits — filed by San Francisco and Oakland against Royal Dutch Shell, BP, ConocoPhillips, Chevron, and Exxon Mobil — has scheduled a five-hour tutorial on climate science this Wednesday.

The tutorial is a big deal: It will set a federal judicial precedent establishing the facts of the actual mechanisms of global warming."

Tomorrow! I'm very curious to how this might change things. Not particularly hopeful for the long term outcomes, but curious to how all of the legal stuff will play out.
