At this point I wouldn’t be shocked if they said the EPA
They've de facto said this about the EPA already. I believe the EPA is no longer allowed to use their own expertise and can only control substances in the water and air explicitly listed by congress and levels explicitly listed by congress. Or something along those lines.
I guess its expected soon: https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-022-00618-1
I believe the case is about carbon, but I imagine the ruling will give legal justification that on a long enough time scale the conservative Supreme court can slowly chip away at the EPA. I mean that's not exactly crazy, it's what they did with abortion rights.
