Government Brief Defends Climate Science, Greenhouse Gas Rules in U.S. Appeals Court

摘要

A brief filed Oct. 28 in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit by the Department of Justice presents a defense of both the science behind climate change and of the greenhouse gas emissions control decisions made by the Environmental Protection Agency (Coalition for Responsible Regulation v. EPA, D.C. Cir., Nos. 09-1322, 10-1073, 10-1092, response brief filed 10/28/10; Southeastern Legal Foundation v. EPA, D.C. Cir., No. 10-1131, response brief filed 10/28/10).rnThe brief responds to motions to stay EPA regulations controlling greenhouse gas emissions from mobile and stationary sources, and the agency's scientific finding underlying those regulations (41 ER 2116, 9/24/10).rnThose motions were filed by the state of Texas, the Coalition for Responsible Regulation, the National Association of Manufacturers, and other petitioners.
