****************************************
In a groundbreaking global warming lawsuit, Friends of the Earth, Greenpeace, and four cities are charging that the Export-Import Bank (Ex-Im) and the Oversees Private Investment Corporation (OPIC) have provided financial assistance to oil and other fossil fuel projects without first evaluating the projects' global warming impacts. The cities of Oakland, Arcata and Santa Monica, Calif. and Boulder, Colo. are parties to the suit.
