In the future, if we discover that some other product causes health problems (think of asbestos), rather than facing lawsuits for the costs imposed on us, the manufacturer could sue governments for restraining them from killing more people. The same thing could happen if our governments impose more stringent regulations to protect us from the impact of greenhouse-gas emissions.
在未来，如果我们发现其他某些产品导致健康问题（比如石棉），制造商将不会面对关于我们所受损失的诉讼，反而可以起诉政府阻止它们杀害更多的人。同理，如果我们的政府实施更加严格的监管以保护我们免受温室气体排放所造成的影响，也会出现相同的现象。
