The lawsuit contends that the EPA is responsible for regulating the amount of carbon dioxide that the products manufactured in this country emit (especially cars). The EPA doesn't see it that way.

I can just see it now... Carbon dioxide monitors will be installed in all public places. You'll have to stop on the highway before you arrive at a traffic jam, because there's already too many cars ahead that are exceeding the permissable level of CO2 at that one junction. People who exercise in public, running around in traffic every morning, will be given tickets for exhaling too much CO2, told to slow down and breathe slower. Public buildings will have CO2 limits, and the number of people breathing inside them will have to be decreased. Limits will be placed on the number of people who exercise their consititutional right to peaceably gather, because too many in one place will exceed the CO2 emissions laws.

Then the lawyers for the country's vegetation will counter-sue for all the plants, since carbon dioxide is what all the plants breathe. Their claim will be that the EPA is responsible for regulating how much oxygen is in the air, and therefore they should be limiting the birth rate.
