As I remember, when the Court decided the carbon case, much of the scientific dissent from the Gore position had not been fully articulated. It is being more and more articulated now, indeed to the point that it's intellectually irresponsible to say that there is any real “consensus” on what the science is. Since the original majority based its decision on what it thought the science was, Kennedy, at least, might be persuaded to change his view about the science and, thus, to change the Court's view.

What was used was the IPCC finding as evidence. That position has been challeneged lately. They used outdated data for this study. Much of what was in that report has been disproven. There is more science, and less political science being used at the moment.
Mr. Hansen’s Goddard Institute did not recalculate the worlds temps until after this case was decided. 2006 is not the hottest year ever, it was 5th hottest. Most of the hottest were more than 60 yrs ago. Time for science and not ideology.
