For a quick overview of the case of Kivalina v Exxon et al, see: http://www.noenergytomorrow.org/2008/09/tiny-alaskan-village-of-kivalina-vs-exxonmobil.html
Kivalina's causes of action:
* Kivalina is seeking monetary damages from defendants in a public nuisance action for defendant's contributions to global warming through emissions of large quantities of greenhouse gases
* Kivalina is also asserting claims seeking monetary damages for civil conspiracy and concert of action against certain defendants (primarily ExxonMobil) for participation in conspiratorial and other actions intended to suppress the knowledge of the link between greenhouse gas emissions and global warming, thereby furthering the defendants' abilities to contribute to global warming.
