The Great Beyond: US Supreme Court accepts global warming case

If the court were to rule either that the EPA's nascent greenhouse gas rules are sufficient to occupy the regulatory void or more generally that the weighty business of crafting climate regulations belongs in Congress and the legislative branch, it could considerably limit the role of the courts in settling climate change disputes, Holmstead says. "There are a range of outcomes, but any one of them is probably likely to reduce the role of the courts."

A host of other climate related lawsuits are pending in the courts. In one case, the native Inupiat village of Kivalina in Alaska is suing a variety of energy companies over their role in global warming. Whereas the current lawsuit is pushing for climate regulations, Kivalina is asking for damages to the tune of $400 million. And various lawsuits are pending regarding the EPA's efforts to begin rolling out climate regulations using authority granted by the Supreme Court in 2007.
