“I don’t buy that “authority to” equals “must regulate CO2..” or any particular molecules.”
You don’t have to. It’s like arguing that the Congress cant pass campaign finance reform because it violates the 1st amendment. Since when did actual law get in the way? The eco-extremists are eager to usurp our liberties any way they can and wont hesitate to use any tool at their disposal.
The article is basically telling us the EPA can claim authority to regulate CO2 and no court will stop them.
How can they when the SCOTUS already granted that authority?
My thinking was that though the courts wouldn’t stop them, congress or the executive could.
What gives them the power to legislate?
What gives them the power to levy taxes?
No, the law sure doesn't get in the way, even though that is what it was designed to do.
