In the same week large swaths of the US were under extreme heat warnings, Joe Biden’s Justice Department filed its most recent motion to dismiss a landmark climate case by arguing that nothing in the Constitution guarantees the right to a secure climate.
Your right, but this needs to change. In order to stop Billionaires from ensuring there isn’t a single functional ecosystem, legal actions will be necessary.
Wouldn’t that be the EPA’s job? I do wish they had more power or were more strict when it came to climate change measures. I did find this though: https://www.epa.gov/climate-change
Ya, the funding cuts make it tough to do though. The EPA actually just decided to not reevaluate the smog standards showing the inability to do much at all.
It’s a nothing article. There’s no reason to have ever assumed it was a constitutional right
There’s plenty of other, much better reasons to justify the need for stable climate.
It’s not about justifying the need for a livable climate, but being able to legally enforce the future having one.
The constitution also doesn’t deny the right to a stable climate, if that is what you mean.
It just has nothing to do with it.
