This debate will undoubtedly be shaken up by the #Trump #EPA’s recent killing of the #EndangermentFinding. That scientific finding by the agency was the foundation of federal #GreenhouseGas #regulations. #SCOTUS has previously ruled that the EPA’s role managing those regulations blocked many federal lawsuits over harms from #ClimateChange. Some legal experts say the end of the endangerment finding opens up a new lane for lawsuits against the #FossilFuel industry in federal court.

…The #Trump admin had urged #SCOTUS to take up the #Boulder case & stop the growing number of #climate lawsuits. In a brief filed in September, senior #DOJ officials wrote that the threat of endless litigation & a patchwork of conflicting #regulations across the country loomed over the case. If it were allowed to continue, they wrote, “then every locality in the country could sue essentially anyone in the world for contributing to global #ClimateChange.” [sounds good to me]
#States have not been deterred. #Hawaii filed its lawsuit almost immediately after the #DOJ suit. And #Michigan recently filed a federal #antitrust lawsuit against 4 #oil companies & the American Petroleum Institute [ #API], the oil industry’s main trade group.
The petition before #SCOTUS in the #Boulder case hinges on the question of whether #federal law “precludes #state-law claims seeking relief for injuries allegedly caused” by #GreenhouseGas #emissions.

“The compression rate in each cylinder of the 1.6-litre V6 hybrid turbo engines has been limited to a 16:1, down from 18:1 under the previous set of rules. But the current #rules, specifically Article C5.4.3 of the #regulations, say compression ratios will be tested "at ambient temperature". Mercedes is rumoured to have circumvented this rule by reportedly using materials that can expand in high temperatures, increasing the compression ratio of the engine, but will pass the inspection when cooled down.”
Thermal expansion of materials at high temps wasn’t in the rules. This is the kind of situation I can imagine AI will exploit: non specific rules in edge cases. 🤣☺️

“We have a responsibility to ensure that new technologies develop in ways that are moral and ethical, in ways that reinforce our American values, not in ways that erode them,” DeSantis said during his State of the State address in January.
