The U.S. Supreme Court has dealt a decisive blow to President Obama's so-called EPA climate regulations. The Court may have stopped the EPA cold with the EPA regulations unlikely to be implemented before Obama leaves office. This will give political leaders time to mobilize and ensure that the EPA 'climate rules' never see the light of day. Delay is nothing short of a victory.

This is a major victory for U.S. sovereignty, energy freedom, climate science and a blow to economic central planning.

This ruling is first and foremost a victory for science. Halting — even temporarily- the EPA regulations mean we no longer have to listen to Obama officials claiming the rules – which would not even impact global CO2 levels – would somehow lessen extreme storms. See: EPA Claims That 'Global Action' On Global Warming Will Stop 'Extreme Weather' -- Flashback 2009: Former EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson: "U.S. action alone will not impact world CO2 levels.")

EPA Chief McCarthy defends regs as 'enormously beneficial' -- Symbolic impact

The notion that EPA regulations could somehow impact global temperatures can now be dispatched to the dustbin of history along with Medieval witchcraft! Climate sanity may be restored to the U.S.

The Supreme, by stopping the EPA climate rules, has also — at least temporarily — stopped the Obama administration from using the EPA to implement the UN Paris climate agreement.

President Obama's climate agenda just suffered a major setback by this ruling. Obama's attempt to bypass Democracy on climate, may be officially doomed. Obama had been poised to implement the scientifically meaningless 'climate regulations' by bypassing Congress through executive orders and by bypassing any potential Senate ratification of the UN Paris agreement.

This is truly a decision — at least for now — to celebrate!
