THE US ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY (EPA) HAS LOST SOME OF ITS POWER TO REDUCE GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS.
THE LANDMARK RULING BY THE US SUPREME COURT REPRESENTS A MAJOR SETBACK TO PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN’S CLIMATE PLANS.
HE CALLED IT A “DEVASTATING DECISION” BUT SAID IT WOULD NOT UNDERMINE HIS EFFORT TO TACKLE THE CLIMATE CRISIS.
THE CASE AGAINST THE EPA WAS BROUGHT BY WEST VIRGINIA ON BEHALF OF 18 OTHER MOSTLY REPUBLICAN-LED STATES AND SOME OF THE NATION’S LARGEST COAL COMPANIES.
