“A new study finds evidence that Congress intended for the 1970 Clean Air Act to cover carbon dioxide emissions.”
In 2022 the Supreme Court killed EPA carbon rules for power plants on the claim that Congress never empowered the agency to regulate greenhouse gases. Harvard and Duke researchers went back to the records and found the law’s authors considered carbon dioxide a pollutant. Reports to Johnson and Nixon already warned of warming. Allen Ginsberg was complaining about it on the Merv Griffin Show in 1969. The Court’s history was worse than a beat poet’s.
