The findings, made available in a report on Tuesday, offer a sharp contrast with claims by the Australian government that fighting climate change would clobber the economy.

Reuters: The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday trimmed the Obama administrations power to curb greenhouse gases under a long-running air pollution program in a decision that means most major facilities, including power plants and refineries, will continue to be regulated. On a 7-2 vote, the court rejected an industry-backed argument that most emitting facilities should not be regulated for greenhouse gases under one particular air pollution program of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). But...
