Hey friend,

The Supreme Court has been all over the news the past few months.

Allegations of ethics misconduct by several justices have made front-page headlines, as have decisions striking down Roe v. Wade, affirmative action, and student loan debt relief.

All the while, the Supreme Court has been making incredibly consequential decisions on the laws and agencies we use to protect the environment and fight climate change.

The federal tools that allow us to protect our planet and tackle the climate crisis come from laws passed by Congress and signed by the president and agencies like the EPA.

After a law is passed, it’s usually up to federal agencies to figure out all the little details, since they’re full of scientists and experts. And historically, whenever questions have come up — for instance, about things like pollution levels or wetland definitions — courts have deferred to those same agencies.

Enter the Roberts Court.

In June of 2022, the Court weakened the EPA’s authority to regulate emissions from power plants. And this past May, they effectively removed protection of half the wetlands previously covered in the Clean Water Act.

Now, the Supreme Court seems to be eyeing further weakening the authority of these agencies, which is critical to effective regulation.
