A federal judge on Friday blocked the Biden administration’s effort to adopt a social cost on carbon and other greenhouse gases, handing a win to 10 Republican attorneys general who accused the president of overstepping his authority.

 

U.S. District Court Judge James D. Cain Jr. granted a preliminary injunction shutting down implementation of President Biden’s executive order that requires federal agencies to estimate the societal costs of various emissions in the name of fighting climate change.

 

The Interagency Working Group on the Social Cost of Greenhouse Gases agreed in February 2021 to approve an interim value of $51 per metric ton of emissions, the same metric used by the Obama administration.

There are those who maintain, that while Joe Biden sits in The Oval Office, Barack Obama is really the one running the show.
