If I were a resident of another state and wanted to move with my SUV to California, would they refuse to register my car? Seems like this would have a tough time passing constitutional muster.
I think attempting to get this thrown out by the courts is a dumb strategy. They'd be much smarter to go the initiative route. They could easily get the signatures needed to put this on the ballot, and I get it'd be defeated. Even if it weren't they'd still have the court strategy to fall back on. I wonder why they've chosen not to get this put before the voters.

Knowing the scientific and voting acumen of the average John Q Public in the State of Confusion, do you really have that much confidence in an initiative process on this issue once the "burning drought-terrible storms-melting iceshelves" TV bites begin airing prior to it?
