What happens when the bedrock of US climate policy is wiped away?

from Climate Court Voices · host Climate Court Voices

For nearly two decades, the Endangerment Finding served as the legal bedrock of American climate policy, compelling the Environmental Protection Agency to treat carbon pollution as a threat to human survival. Today, that foundation is gone. Following the Trump administration's landmark repeal, the very framework used to regulate US emissions has vanished. In this episode of Climate Court Voices, Noah Perch-Ahern, an attorney at Greenberg Glusker LLP, joins us to break down the fallout, from the firestorm of litigation hitting the courts to the sudden, high-stakes shift toward a patchwork of state-level regulations.
