requires the federal government to maintain a climate that supports human life.
Unironically this is a new frontier of ghoul behevior. The next time a person tells me some shit like Biden is “the most progressive president since FDR” I’m straight up spitting in their face.
Who’s the most progressive president since fdr?
Who cares? But if you were just talkig about the environment it would be Nixon.
It’s a nothing article. There’s no reason to have ever assumed it was a constitutional right
There’s plenty of other, much better reasons to justify the need for stable climate.
It’s not about justifying the need for a livable climate, but being able to legally enforce the future having one.
Wouldn’t that be the EPA’s job? I do wish they had more power or were more strict when it came to climate change measures. I did find this though: https://www.epa.gov/climate-change
Ya, the funding cuts make it tough to do though. The EPA actually just decided to not reevaluate the smog standards showing the inability to do much at all.
The constitution also doesn’t deny the right to a stable climate, if that is what you mean.
It just has nothing to do with it.
Your right, but this needs to change. In order to stop Billionaires from ensuring there isn’t a single functional ecosystem, legal actions will be necessary.
Which leads directly to the statement “there is no constitutional right that the government will protect the citizens of this country from harm”.
Then what the fuck do we need government for?
