Say what? You cite two articles, both from Bumfuck, Nowhere, and one is seven years old. I doubt that there's a single coal-fired furnace in the entire DC metro area. That notwithstanding, the SCOTUS did indeed rule that CO2 is a pollutant that EPA can regulate via rulemaking under the Clean Air Act.
There is a means for Congress to override a Federal regulation if it has the wherewithal to override a veto. Congress itself wrote the enabling legislation (the Clean Air Act) that specifically instructed the EPA to regulate atmospheric pollutants and it was signed into law by a Republican (Nixon).
