In the same week large swaths of the US were under extreme heat warnings, Joe Biden’s Justice Department filed its most recent motion to dismiss a landmark climate case by arguing that nothing in the Constitution guarantees the right to a secure climate.
I mean, that is in fact not a US constitutional right
But proclaim the fucking emergency anyway!
The suit filed “claim to a fundamental constitutional right to be free of CO2 emissions.”
Free of CO2 emission. That’s both beautiful and wildly impractical. If you file a lawsuit with foolish demands you should expect to get resistance. IIRC there’s something like a Trillion dollars set aside in the IRA for emissions/ghg reduction strategies - directly or indirectly- across the board.
Then we need to try again with better definitions.
