The case is an unusual one for the court. Instead of looking at a rule that has already been established, this one will set a precedent for future actions, specifically those tied to the EPA’s authority to regulate power plant emissions. Should the court rule against the EPA, that could hamper the Biden administration’s plans to combat climate change, as regulating authority could shift to Congress.
It seems that from reading this thread, this article doesn’t quite grasp the potential ramifications of this case, which are that it could end the ability of Congress to delegate to federal agencies to implement policy.
:biden-troll: States rights, Mack
Any country invading the US in the future to stop its emissions is 100% justified and any radlib who opposes it as "reverse-imperialism" or something ought to be shot.
Anyone who invades the US basically has the same right to be there as the current invader-occupiers of the US.
They're going to start considering it when the US starts fracking the entire country and Canada, it's lapdog, starts processing and burning the tarsands which would be an additional global 0.4C just by itself.
Presumably China et al know where the nukes are? Maybe insert tactical teams to deactivate them all at the same time, idk?
the fun thing about accelerationism is you dont have to do anything for it to happen
the perfect ideology for my crippling depression and social anxiety!
Can't wait for one branch of the government to just dissolve the other two because the piece of paper they're reading is functionally impossible to update
Also the picture caption says "pollution rises from the smokestacks of a power plant" but aren't those are just cooing towers and water vapor
Can’t wait for one branch of the government to just dissolve the other two because the piece of paper they’re reading is functionally impossible to update
The fact that it's functionally impossible to update the constitution points to a more fundamental political dysfunction than the Supreme Court doing dumb shit. Like there are already 27 fucking amendments to the damn thing so everyone knows that it's not inviolate.
Even the slave-owning rapists who wrote the damn thing knew that it'd have to change with the times, but it's politically convenient in 2022 to pretend that it's sacred because the alternative is to actually grapple with the fact that the US government is in permanent deadlock with no way out.
the Biden administration’s plans to combat climate change
Yeah I'm sure he was gonna get right on that
Sorry guys but the supreme court says we can't do anything :dem:
in that case yankoids should severely limit the power of the supreme court, kinetically
the EPA is already toothless as fuck, much like the IRS
american regulations are merely suggestions
Tfw :biden-leftist: is never gonna send in the tanks :sadness-abysmal:
In less than a decade, we'll have crossed the 1.5°C limit.
The current scientific consensus is that somewhere between 1.5°C and 2°C of warming, a domino-effect of tipping points activates, which put's us on an irreversable path towards a "hothouse-earth" (if that term is to vague for you: think Venus).
venus isn't happening and the earth has had way more CO2 in the atmosphere and been hotter than 2°C what we're used to in the past. We're still gonna die though so it probably doesn't matter in the end. In a million years there will be giant insects because of all the vegetation overcompensating.
Its possible incets could go extinct from human activity disrupting wild life before that happens again.
Forget about dying in a camp when the reactionaries ascend to open mass organized internal violence, half of us will die of food or some other kind of poisoning or environmental exposure before it can get to that.
when the ruling comes, it's basically over. Neoliberalism has finally reign supreme in the USA
