SCOTUS is responsible for this, in some measure. Their ruling gave the enviroNazis legal standing.
You are probably referencing their ruling that the epa may regulate CO2. Too bad there aren’t any scientist on the panel. Coming soon, regulating the amount of solar radiation you may legally absorb in a given time period. Want some extra rays? You can buy some.
With Kelo, SCOTUS essentially rolled the dice and bet that since the New London redevelopment plan would guarantee increased tax revenues for the city, they could justify redefinging the 5th amendment "public use" into what was not written in the Constitution, "public good."
They rolled snake eyes.
Now SCOTUS has bet on the weather, too?
