Obama climate agenda faces US Supreme Court reckoning
None
With a barrage of legal briefs, a coalition of business groups and Republican-leaning states are taking their fight against Obama administration climate change regulations to the US Supreme Court.
The US Chamber of Commerce and other industry groups, along with Texas and Virginia, have filed nine petitions asking the justices to review four Environmental Protection Agency regulations that are designed to cut greenhouse-gas emissions. The court's decision on whether to take up any of the petitions could influence the administration's efforts to solidify its climate change agenda before Obama leaves office in 2017.
