Field v. EPA

The federal district court for the Northern District of Texas dismissed for lack of standing a lawsuit against the the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in which an individual pro se plaintiff asserted that EPA restrictions since 1990 on aerosols in the atmosphere had caused global warming. The plaintiff said the restrictions should not be enforced until EPA demonstrated that the restrictions were not causing temperature increases. The district court adopted a magistrate judge’s findings, conclusions, and recommendations, finding that the plaintiff’s allegations of generalized harm failed to establish standing.
