Episode notes
EPA's Climate Policy Reversal
- The EPA's revocation of the endangerment finding is a show of allegiance to fossil fuel interests rather than sound climate science.
- This move damages U.S. leadership on climate and ignores overwhelming evidence of greenhouse gases' harm.
Legal Hurdles for EPA's Reversal
- The legal argument that greenhouse gases don't cause harm is unlikely to succeed due to broad Clean Air Act definitions.
- Future courts will likely block EPA actions reversing that finding, limiting practical impact in the near term.
Carbon Tax Over Regulation
- A carbon tax is the most efficient way to reduce emissions by reflecting true environmental costs.
- It would encourage innovation and informed consumer choices better than regulatory methods alone.
