The Trump administration’s battle against a global warming lawsuit brought by 21 youths will continue into 2019 after a federal court handed the government a big win over the holiday season.
The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals sided with the Department of Justice (DOJ) in a Dec. 26 ruling largely missed by major media outlets. The court granted DOJ’s petition for interlocutory appeal that decreases the chances of the climate lawsuit going to trial anytime soon.
The three-judge Ninth Circuit panel is the very same one that in March 2018 ruled against Trump administration petitions for a writ of mandamus, which allows a higher court to overrule a lower court before a case is decided.

'Missed' only because it was a preliminary win for the Trump Administration. Had it gone the other way, it would have been the lead for a week.
Purposely missed and ignored by major media outlets
Yup, just like the news that the stock market is bouncing back...
Globull warming’s gonna mill is all!!!!
But you can make the check out to me
Largely missed?
No they didn’t miss it.
Largely ignored..
Now you got it.
SCOTUS is probably better known for trying to avoid doing their duty in controversial cases than for overturning the 9th.
Poor little snowflakes.
Wait! The Ninth?
This is only an order that certifies an interlocutory appeal to decide any legal questions that have arisen in the underlying case. Nothing will stop the 9th from deciding these questions and then sending it back for trial.
IOWs this is what the American judiciary does best - let lawyers rack up fees going through legal process rather than deciding a case on the clearly transparent issue that you should not be able to sue the government for deciding political questions on climate change.
No, deliberately missed by the major media outlets.
Any Trump Admin. successes are to be spiked by the "news" media.
The “case” isn’t justiciable. No injury - no case.
So what was Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas talking about a week ago?
He said SCOTUS has been ducking their responsibilities, something that seems to be the case over and over again.
Is there anything that “youths” don’t know?
ME?!

Whatever it was, it had nothing to do with the silly Global Warming lawsuit.
I never made mention of the global warming lawsuit either
