Ya gotta love the Internet. Every few months, someone gets sued for what they say.

This time around, it's people criticizing an online pet-supply store:

The hot water started with a simple post to an Internet mailing list frequented by people whose idea of a good time is growing plants underwater.

Interesting claims over at fossilfuels.org. From their about page:Fossil fuels are one of the creator's greatest gifts to humankind ... [They're] conducive to the spectacular success of our species.

And later on, on their page on climate change: Fossil fuel combustion is demonized as humanity's primary contributor to the alleged potential for apocalyptic climate change. Curtailing fossil fuel use will trigger a "wrenching transformation of society."

Damned if you do, damned if you don't, sounds like to me. Hmmm... I think we need a wrenching transformation of society more than an apocalyptic climate change. Door number two, please.

Next time I'm in NYC with a huge wad of cash, I'm staying at the Library Hotel.
