Surprise! CEI Plans to Sue the EPA over the Endangerment Finding

Predictably, the Competitive Enterprise Institute (CEI) has announced its intention to sue the EPA in federal court, seeking  to overturn the agency’s recent endangerment finding for CO2 “on the grounds that EPA has ignored major scientific issues, including those raised recently in the Climategate fraud scandal.”

To the best of our knowledge, this will be the first lawsuit challenging the EPA’s endangerment finding.

CEI is expected to file a Petition for Review with the D.C .Circuit at some point in the next 60 days.  Stay tuned to Warming Law for updates on this case as more information becomes available.
