A reporter discusses it...
There is a very real chance that the Supreme Court will soon prohibit the EPA from limiting greenhouse gas emissions from power plants. This is a horrifying grant.
To be clear: The Supreme Court may not only deny the EPA authority to regulate greenhouse gases from power plants, but also prohibit Congress from delegating that authority to the EPA in the first place.
I think the vast majority of the right-wing has gone insane. This includes the smart ones - so to speak. But the fundie GOP justices have children and grandchildren which they portend to love. I think they believe in one of the following...
Climate change isn't really that much of a big deal.
Technology will solve the problem without too much bother.
God will solve their problem. The Rapture will come and all good Christians (including them of course) will be spirited away to heaven.
I have to believe that at some fundamental level - they do think climate change could be catastrophic. I could be totally wrong. Maybe one or two of them isn't worried at all. But I think choices two and three are far more likely. That they could believe in a quickie tech solution is scary. But if they really think they'll be spirited away - we are way beyond fucked.
