This is something I've been wondering about for awhile.
People sue companies for damages all the time in cases of pollution. So I was curious if it would be possible for a group of individuals or organizations to sue a company for damages related to CO2 emissions, such as ocean acidification or climate change? Provided they could show that CO2 emissions were negatively affecting their property financially, could a person be awarded damages?
If not, why? If so, why isn't it happening yet?
I don't know much about law, so this is just a friendly question. Thanks.
