Kansas Attorney General Derek Schmidt and his counterparts in 22 other states are telling the U-S Supreme Court that greenhouse gas emissions standards should be decided by legislators and regulators, not the courts. As Kansas Public Radio’s Bryan Thompson explains, these 23 states want the high court to ban the use of public nuisance lawsuits to regulate greenhouse gases.
