On the Climate Change front, we now have a suit filed before the Supreme Court demanding EPA enforce the law,
WASHINGTON - August 31 - Today a vast coalition of the Sierra Club, states, cities, political leaders, other environmental groups, and utilities filed opening briefs with the Supreme Court in the most far-reaching global warming case to be heard by the nation's highest court. The Court's decision in the case, Massachusetts et al. v. Environmental Protection Agency et al., could have a potentially decisive impact on federal, state, and local efforts to tackle global warming. The Sierra Club, the twelve states involved, and the numerous other petitioners have taken this case to the high court to force EPA to comply with the Clean Air Act's provisions requiring it to regulate any air pollutant that "endanger[s] public health or welfare."
