Let's see just how fast we can get a case thrown out
If you were going to come up with some way of seeing exactly how fast you could get a case thrown out of federal court, this wouldn't be a bad way to go about it.
California is suing six car manufacturers for global warming.
That isn't the kind of thing for which you can sue someone unless California has weirder laws than I thought. But it's certainly not something for which federal law has a remedy either.
You can certainly sue someone for violating emissions standards, but not global warming as such. It's just not a cognizable harm. You'd also have to prove that car manufacturers are the primary instruments of whatever harm you are trying to prove. Have fun with that.
