BILLINGS, Mont. A judge blocked oil and gas drilling across almost 500 square miles in Wyoming and said the U.S. government must consider climate change impacts more broadly as it leases huge swaths of public land for energy exploration.
The order marks the latest in a string of court rulings over the past decade - including one last month in Montana - that have faulted the U.S. for inadequate consideration of greenhouse gas emissions when approving oil, gas and coal projects on federal land.
U.S. District Judge Rudolph Contreras in Washington appeared to go a step further than other judges in his order issued late Tuesday.
Previous rulings focused on individual lease sales or permits. But Contreras said that when the U.S. Bureau of Land Management auctions public lands for oil and gas leasing, officials must consider emissions from past, present and foreseeable future oil and gas leases nationwide.

Not just a Federal judge.
A FISA judge.
The guy’s not an idiot. He’s Deep State.
“U.S. government must consider indigenous unicorn impacts more broadly as it leases huge swaths of public land for energy exploration.”
Obama’s doing.
Just another judge legislating from the bench.
He put on Napoleon’s disposition with that black robe.

An on what statute did this judge base his ruling?
Just say no.
Scientifically ignorant indeed. I have regularly shared your “lesson” in various FB threads, including with a 10,000 member discussion group.
It’s very elemental. There is no greenhouse effect. It is total bunk unless you think there is a layer of glass in the sky blocking convection and water vapor.
An activist lawyer in a black robe stupidly blamed mankind for something that is NOT happening, to justify blocking oil and gas drilling in Wyoming.
Taking action to damage jobs and the economy on the basis of a false premise, is communist and Democratic, is it not?
Mankind has nothing to do with climate change.
I know of many willfully blind green believing fools who would think of this black robed toddler tyrant as a saint.
It is dictating policy from the bench.
The judge sounds like impeachment material.
Ooh. Just what America needs. Another deranged, activist judge.

Oh, and no armed protection either as said judge is probably a gun grabber.
