Supreme Court Emissions Case
The Supreme Court has agreed to hear an appeal challenging the ability of a plaintiff to claim that utility carbon dioxide emissions are creating a public nuisance by contributing to global warming, according to this article in the NYT. "It is the first public-nuisance suit related to climate change to reach the Supreme Court. Lower courts have generally declined to allow such suits to proceed because it would put judges in the position of deciding how much carbon dioxide was too much."
