The U.S. Supreme Court has corrected an opinion after Justice Neil Gorsuch mistakenly confused nitrous oxide, commonly known as laughing gas, with nitrogen oxide, a smog-causing emission.

The confusion has sparked criticism about the right wing Justices and the Court's decision to override agency expertise.
