 Biden pledges climate action despite ‘devastating’ Supreme Court ruling
by Rachel Frazin - 06/30/22 2:20 PM ET

President Biden on Thursday pledged to carry on with climate action despite a Supreme Court ruling that restricted how his administration can respond to worsening global warming.

The president called the ruling curbing the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) power “devastating” but said his administration would continue to look for ways to mitigate global warming.

“The Supreme Court’s ruling in West Virginia vs. EPA is another devastating decision that aims to take our country backwards,” he said in a statement.

“While this decision risks damaging our nation’s ability to keep our air clean and combat climate change, I will not relent in using my lawful authorities to protect public health and tackle the climate crisis,” he added.

Biden said the administration will keep using “lawful executive authority including the EPA’s legally-upheld authorities” to promote clean air and prevent climate change from worsening.

“Our fight against climate change must carry forward, and it will,” he said.

Notice that he said nothing about taking the matter up with Congress to get new laws passed to do what they want to do.  That is precisely what the Supreme Court invited them to do.

They won't for two reasons:  (a) they believe that they are infallibly correct, and therefore have a divine right to accomplish their plans, and (b) they know that overreach such as they want to engage in would never be passed by Congress.
