There are people on the left who are willing to throw environmentalists to the wolves. I've never been sure why. Is it to try and keep the right-wing attack machine focused on someone else? Its another case of letting the right set the debate on its terms.

"We did sue" The initial lawsuit was if the EPA had the authority to regulate CO2. Once that was done an endangerment finding was required. Bush punted on that and Obama made it. The next step is to start regulating.
This is where another lawsuit comes in. If the EPA goes slow waiting for legislation from Congress, that's when another lawsuit should be filed. Maybe one of the more litigatious groups like the Center for Biological Diversity can file. The regulations typically require action within deadlines. If action is not being taken enviros should sue to force compliance with the law.

The way things are going I think enviros should aggressively sue to get action under the Clean Air Act. The House Bill had lots of compromises and even with more compromises action seems doubtful in the Senate. To quote the old motto of the Environmental Defense Fund: sue the bastards!
