The Southeastern Legal Foundation (SLF) has filed a Petition for Reconsideration with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), challenging the Endangerment Finding published by EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson on Dec. 15, 2009. Filing available here.
Earlier this year the SLF filed a comprehensive public comment during the Public Comment period with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), alleging that powerful scientific and legal information countered the prevailing United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) reports on human causation of climate change related to carbon dioxide greenhouse gas emissions.
After the Public Comment period closed, "Climategate" disclosures presented substantial evidence of data fraud in the very documents, reports and analyses relied on by Administrator Jackson in making the Endangerment Finding. Failure to investigate this new evidence that supports leading credible scientists' observations that "global warming"/climate change is not caused by humans (anthropogenic), but is natural, cyclical, and not as extreme as reported by the IPCC, creates significant legal problems for the EPA's regulatory effort.
"Representing a group of well-informed and concerned Americans, including leaders in Congress who have been intimately involved in climate change issues for more than a decade, SLF has brought the first of several administrative and court actions which will follow to enforce the rule of law and prevent this coming catastrophe," said Shannon L. Goessling, SLF Executive Director and Chief Legal Counsel. "The goal is to compel the federal government to follow the laws as enacted by Congress and to pursue legitimate public policy based on legitimate scientific data. The American people deserve no less, and the U.S. Constitution mandates it."

Exit question: CARB uses the same documents as the EPA to force AB32 on the citizens of California, why has CARB not been unchallenged in the courts?
