Alaskan village wants rehearing of Ninth Circuit's global warming decision

An Alaskan village that claims global warming is eroding its shoreline is asking for a rehearing of their case against several power companies it says are to blame. The village of Kivalina has filed a motion for a rehearing of a September decision by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit…A three-judge panel has decided the village's case is preempted by the Environmental Protection Agency's Clean Air Act. The residents of Kivalina are a federally recognized tribe. They sued two dozen companies in 2008, alleging public nuisance on the parts of the defendants. They said climate change has resulted in the erosion of their island.
