The Obama administration and leading power companies are going before the U.S. Supreme Court today in an effort to block a global warming lawsuit aimed at forcing cuts in greenhouse gas emissions. A half-dozen states, New York City and three land trusts sued four private utilities and the Tennessee Valley Authority over emissions of carbon dioxide from power plants in 20 states. The Obama administration and the companies opposed the lawsuit, claiming that federal courts should not set environmental policy.
