A duck hunt for global warming
By Derrick Z. Jackson | December 2, 2006

SUPREME COURT Justice Antonin Scalia needs to go duck hunting. It is the only way for him to understand global warming.

He made that clear in oral arguments this week on whether states can sue the Environmental Protection Agency over the agency's refusal -- with the backing of the White House and the auto industry -- to regulate emissions of the greenhouse gases of global warming. Just moments after James Milkey, Massachusetts assistant attorney general, opened his statement on how the state "will be hit particularly hard" by rising oceans, Scalia pounced on him with: "I thought that the standing requires imminent harm. If you haven't been harmed already, you have to show the harm is imminent. Is this harm imminent?"

Milkey responded, "It is, your honor. We have shown that the sea levels are already occurring from the current amounts of greenhouse gases in the air, and that means it is only going to get worse as the . . ."

Scalia interrupted again with, "When? I mean, when is the predicted cataclysm?"

If Scalia checks out his hunting grounds, he might see the cataclysm more clearly.
