* States sue to block “social cost” of carbon* Twelve states have asked a Federal Court to keep federal agencies from using the so-called Social Cost of Greenhouse Gases to calculate the benefits of emission reduction regulations.

Preventing these supposed damages could justify massive new regulations, but the States say this is illegal because Congress never authorized it. The Social Cost of Carbon (SCC) has bee...
