It’s ironic, but does anyone see it? First, the Supreme Court overturns Roe vs. Wade, letting states ban abortion, then the Supreme Court rules against the EPA fixing the climate crisis. The first was supposedly “pro-life,” but the second will kill people on an enormous scale. Supreme Court conservatives claim they care deeply about human life, but the ruling against the EPA proves they only pretend.
According to the overwhelming majority of the world’s climate scientists, we had a very narrow window to prevent the worst of the climate crisis from happening–the megadroughts, the floods, and the collapse of the world’s ecosystems–but the court’s EPA ruling has closed that window. It is now almost inevitable that the climate crisis will cause massive famine, political chaos, and economic collapse. Many people will die, but the conservatives on the court obviously couldn’t care less.
So here we are, thanks to the Supreme Court: Fossil fuel industries are now free to destroy the planet, but women are not free to control their bodies.
The conservatives on the court say it is all so very logical, but I say it is insane.

Wade, Thanks for your letter. Good to see thoughtful brains at work!

Yeah yeah the climate is going to kill us all. The real irony is that the left wing kooks believe the world needs depopulated then says the climate is going to depopulate us if we don’t change to the nonsensical green agenda. Btw, the SCOTUS actually affirmed the EPA lacks the constitutional standing to create law, adjudicate those laws, and enforce those laws, that’s why we have three branches of government. They were right in this particular case.
Bill Stroud says
Yea, yea. Btw, an interpretation of constitutional standing IS NOT an affirmation of constitutional standing. Just came down to the ideological majority of SCROTUS.
