The US Supreme Court Tuesday took on six cases related to federal regulation of greenhouse gasses, raising expectations for a much-awaited ruling in the debate over climate change legislation.
The court announced it was combining the six suits from plaintiffs in the chemical industry, the Chamber of Commerce, and the state of Texas, each protesting carbon emissions regulations put in place by the Environmental Protection Agency.
All six cases address just one question: Whether the agency "permissibly determined that its regulation of greenhouse gas emissions from new motor vehicles triggered permitting requirements under the Clean Air Act," the court said in announcing it would take the appeal.

global warming is a hoax
the media acts as if the Sun doesn't exist. the media ignore the Sun and the solar cycle which indicates massive cooling in the coming decades. google solar cycle 25 and solar cycle 24.
Hidden in this story is a statement that the Supremes are also going to consider whether or not a gun owner can sell a firearm to another individual.
And next they'll consider whether a gun owner can give away a firearm as a gift and then accept a "donation".
Big fat good the Supreme Court will do to help commonsense. They already gave the damned EPA permission to regulate CO2.
What a bunch of idiots. Scalia wrote the dissenting opinon, but it is too late now I think. Could they overturn it?
Sure. Will they?
No.
From the write-up, it sounds like the court could avoid any discussion of global warming (or even climate change) validity and skip right to whether the EPA have the authority to regulate emissions.
Not getting a warm fuzzy on this one.
Someone will just say the word ‘tax’ and John Roberts will react like Pavlov’s Dog.
The plaintiffs say that EPA's endangerment findings were faulty and that EPA doesn't have the legal authority to "tailor the regulation".
The original suit was in 2010. The DC Court of Appeals ruled for EPA in June 2012. The plaintiffs appealed to SCOTUS last May.
Roberts and his “tax” to the rescue /sarc
I know. I should have focused more on the content of the article rather than just griping about the SJC in general.
I have completely lost faith in the ability of the Supreme Court to ajudicate anything with even a smidgen of commonsense.
Roberts broke my mental and emotional back when he ruled on Obamacare.
The only ones who I feel I can count on are Scalia and Thomas, and possibly Alito (but not really). And they won’t be around forever.
We are certain to get another Sotomayor or Kagan.
This just plain sucks.
And I remind everyone of the Church’s trial of Galileo.
first... loved the tag line
second... down with argon. who needs to breathe that garbage gas.
third... with all that nitrogen in the air, isn’t it any wonder the water samples are always high in nitrates... or am I nit picking here.
