A coalition of public health and environmental groups on Wednesday challenged the EPA's decision to repeal a landmark finding that greenhouse gas pollution endangers people's health, calling it a corporate handout at odds with the science and the law.
Dumb question: if the Trump admin isn't going to regulate GHGs regardless of the endangerment finding, and the real risk is that supreme court rules in a way that hamstrings future presidents that want to regulate GHGs, why would climate groups want to litigate this decision?

One way of measuring a media company's impact is whether judges view it as an authoritative source.
Hard to beat the sports section of The Washington Post on that front.
The U.S. Supreme Court and other courts have often cited Post sports stories to establish facts.
