Supreme Court Limits Government’s Ability to Reduce Carbon Emissions!

I wish Clarence Thomas would have just declared that global warming isn’t real and told people to check the ice core samples and find that carbon increase follows warming, not the other way around.

The U.S. Supreme Court on Thursday imposed limits on the federal government’s authority to issue sweeping regulations to reduce carbon emissions from power plants in a ruling that will undermine President Joe Biden’s plans to tackle climate change and could constrain various agencies on other issues.

The court’s 6-3 ruling restricted the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) authority to regulate greenhouse gas emissions from existing coal- and gas-fired power plants under the landmark Clean Air Act anti-pollution law. Biden’s administration is currently working on new regulations.

The court’s six conservatives were in the majority in the decision authored by Chief Justice John Roberts, with the three liberals dissenting.

The EPA and White House said that administration lawyers are analyzing the decision and seeking ways to address emissions under existing laws.

President Biden will not relent in using the authorities that he has under law to protect public health and tackle the climate change crisis,” a White House spokesperson said.

The ruling was based on what is called the “major questions” legal doctrine that requires explicit congressional authorization for action on issues of broad importance and societal impact. The justices in January appeared to embrace that theory when it blocked the Biden administration’s vaccine-or-test policy for larger businesses, a key element of its plan to combat the COVID-19 pandemic.

The court’s invocation of this doctrine sends a signal that the justices will be a major obstacle to federal agencies seeking to implement broad policies of national importance.

The decision will constrain the EPA’s ability to issue any regulations on power plants that push for an ambitious a national shift in energy policy toward renewable sources.

“Renewable sources” are a hoax. Firstly, they’re not renewable, and secondly, they’re not sources. The only actual “renewable resource” that creates energy is hydroelectric or wood.

Unless oil is abiotic – in which case that is also renewing itself (but no one is allowed to have a grant to research that).

We need to go back to saying that manmade global warming is literally not real. The GOP has gone so far to the left that they now falsely claim that anthropogenic global warming is real, the Democrats are right, but that Democrats are the real global warmers. Ted Cruz says that.

It’s false.

We need to go back to the 1990s, when people said shit straight – a time when pop-ska bands could write songs about falling in love with 14-year-old hookers and then helping them murder their families, and no one complained.
