Bill McKibben, environmental activist, talks about how the Supreme Court checked another item off its political to-do list as decades of big business opposition to environmental regulation was realized in a new ruling from the court, and expresses hope that the sheer unpopularity of the ruling will motivate a backlash.

Have you noticed how brave and courageous Trump is? I'm astonished at how he speaks his truth with such transparency! The tectonic way that Trump walks in his majestic truth is stunning! The manner with which Trump embraces his authenticity is so iconic! He's such an inspiration to the marginalized and stigmatized because his strength and independence is a seismic shift from the conventional! It's breathtaking and epic how Trump is always moving boundaries and breaking barriers, as an empowered voice for the disenfranchised!
The problem is Carbon has not been listed as a pollutant!!!! Change the laws and the issue is fixed!
I think Bill needs to go home and not worry about the big problems
The poverty rate is going UP thanks to Biden Gas Hikes & Democrats created INFLATION & avg rent price going UP 15 months straight yet Democrats are too busy with J6 to them it's waaayyy more important than people suffering
Where's Joe Biden on this astrocity of dereliction on the environment; our air and water my family breathes and F**n drinks. Wake up America – republithug traitors are seriously greedy grifters and sick twisted Koch brothers sucklers for sale. SCOTUS groupies are bought and paid for — what Supreme Court?!?! Insurrectionists Ginni Q'anon queen nutbag Thomas and her predator husband Clarence Thomas?!
It's not that Republicans don't care it's that they care more about people suffering. DEMs need to get better at finding a middle ground, so we can ALL be on the same page. But for DEMs it's their way or the highway. That's not working
Congress needs to grant the EPA the power to regulate emissions as soon as possible
Right-wing extremism is ruining this country. VOTE BLUE IN 22 & 24!!! Get these nut biscuits out of office so we can protect women, children, and the earth.
If they only cared about the Human Race as much. 🤨
Nothing better the library tears.
Regulate the goverment, that is all.
How is this a surprise to anyone? It should be obvious by now that this Supreme Court has no interest in democracy or the Constitution, they are there to impose their right wing extremist minority rule upon the nation, using their rulings to overcome government policy and legislation. So-called "religious freedom" will Trump every other Constitutional right, as will gun nuttery and state-sanctioned racism and misogyny, next up SCOTUS are about to give State Legislators the power to decide who wins regardless of what the vote tally says.
Biden has failed, this SCOTUS should have been dealt with ASAP, with the completion of the Kavanaugh FBI investigation, a similar one into Coney-Barrett, who perjured herself in swearing a false oath as she is on record as having fealty to her church and her cult leader over all else, and an investigation into the manifold crimes of Clarence Thomas. This court has already been "packed" to ensure minority rule, Biden has the power to balance it to reflect the requirements of the USA and not just a group of elite criminals.
60-65 70-75 90 or 💯% full of 👅
Now congress will have to make the hard decisions and own them.
GOP don’t care about killing themselves & everybody
Biden has now reached a milestone. Only 1/3 of the country approve of him and his administration. Congats!🤪
Glad to see rational, intelligent comments in this section. The Supreme Court is following the law, they are simply there to balance the power, and the EPA overstepped their boundaries. That's all that happened.
Republicans love pollution. They don't care about clean air or clean water. They don't care what happens to the Earth because they think Jesus will come soon and burn everyone that isn't them (boy won't they be disappointed), and destroy the Earth to make it all fresh amd pretty again… and fascist. They don't know the book they claim to believe is the word of God, wherein it says that God inteded that human beings be good stewards of this planet and all that lives on it.
Joe’s Climate Agenda is being put into check. Why? Because it is UNCONSTITUTIONAL!
The politicians who are funded by the oil industry are the ones to make decisions about the environment, what could go wrong?
The funny thing about politics – no matter how bad things get, things can always get worse. Only fools believe that staying home on voting day will somehow absolve them of responsibility. Nit-pickers are going to have to get it through their thick skulls – Democrats are a terrible party, except theo-fascism is worse.
Every fetus is sacred until it wants to draw breath and then well screw it we don't care if you have clean air or water or can navigate your School career through a hail of bullets. I wonder if there's a meter for measuring the sheer amount of hypocrisy coming out of this entire political movement these days
Funny how nobody here seemed bothered when the politicized liberal supreme court under warren started gutting the constitution to the Left through 'evolving standards' yet now the court is clearly moving in a different direction there now is a problem.
I love to see these lefty clowns REEEEeeeEEeeEEEE!!
These traitorous republican puppets that attempted to overthrow "We The People's" Democracy, work for their 1% owners. They installed these greedy, soulless, SCJ and they all need to be impeached as traitors; before it is too late, November is coming..
The supreme court should change its name to the conservative court
What Republicans do next? Vote for a law that will not let you sue those companies who pollute the environment and you get sick? People with COPD, Asthma, and other breathing problems should be voting Blue for their own good. Now we are getting more news about food and water being unfit. Everyone will have to make more crooks rich by having to by oxygen while the big executives live on tropical islands with fresh air and water.
The Deep State and their Green New Deal to
destroy Americas sovereignty has been
dismantled by the Supreme Court. God Bless America 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Worry about China you moonbats, the US is the cleanest industrialized country in the world 🌎.
Progressive liberalism is a very dangerous mental disorder 🤪
Biden needs to add four justices to the court. And we all need to come out as a giant blue wave in November.
Ok, let me get this right, a Democratic president and House placed in the corner all "Baby-like," and a Supreme Court with levers greased having the time of their lives? E.T.O
it tells Joe Biden go f*** off You're not welcome in America because we want to make our own decisions each state should choose their own pathway
how long we write laws that everyone that believes in environmental law should have to abide by them they can't use gasoline cars they must use solar or wind only and the rest of us that didn't vote for those laws can use whatever we want and see how we survive they can't use plastics cuz it uses oil anything that uses oil they can't have see how they would like life I'm tired of people who are rich and tell us poor people you can't have this while we rich can have it because we need to save the environment when our famous and rich people stop taking airplanes and private jets anywhere in the world all believe and actually want to do what they're telling us to do but until then you've lost me I can't afford much but much I've been given I will do what the little I have and make it great so stop telling me what to do with my money when I have barely anything and you have all the money in the world Mr Rich people and Rich Media
Go USA. 2nd most polluting country in the world p.capita behind Qatar.
Number 1 soon!
Watch those climate refugees pour across the border in their hundreds of millions. It's what you are legislating for.
Hoarding comes to mind, and it is regulated and made more efficient by and for the biggest businesses. A blatant disregard for sanctity of life.
"Does this mean we can fart again?" – Cows
Lets Go B R A N D O N!
Supreme Court and Congress are no better than dictators at this point in time. It is a VERY bad idea to give the deniers an equal place at the table. They have to be the stupidest lawmakers on this planet to overturn a woman's right to choose, not allow the EPA to do its one job to regulate pollution, and failing to uphold the constitution of the United States! If humans become an endangered species, it will be all their fault! The fault of stupid, selfish pigs who care about representing no one except their own interests. Their money won't help them if we are all dead! If they can get out of this by flying to another planet, then good luck surviving on Mars! 551 trillion dollars of economic damage? THAT is how bad this can possibly be, Once-Per. July 2, 2022, 4:30am
Despite what some comments say, I do not think the EPA overstepped their bounds. I know they can not make these laws, but Congress should know better than to make laws that actually stop them from making the regulations they are supposed to make. July 2, 2022, 4:35am
why are people okay with regulating individuals but not corporations????
When the court leans left everything is fine. When it leans right it’s “politicized”. 🖕
Msnbc is such garbage
Good
Muchadoaboutnothing .
Fjb.
BideNFLATION.
Nobody is saying a huge Truth!!! Amy Coney Barrett's Father was the head of Big Oil for 20 years!!! How can SHE remove the cornerstone of climate change laid down 50 years ago?!? I think they're trying to set up chump for re-election in Nov. 2024. He killed the old Republican party Nov 8, 2016. Before then they were a party of many mind's, thoughts & opinions. After, they are a Fascist Cult with a mind and voice of One! No more different opinions. Even the two elections since, not a One ran on any platform. That's because they're no longer a party of differing opinions. Everyone has to adopt chumps thinking, and you have to say what he would. Or your out of any job with the cult forever.
Why does chump hate Antifa so much, and I've never seen one. That's because we are all Anti-Fascist! We're fighting his Fascist Cult every day. If he wins, democracy is dead. His Fascist cult will take over the other half of America. Getting rid of our experiment in democracy. Just what he's always w
This guy clearly doesn't realize that this is exactly what the American people wanted the court to do!
This could be a defining existential moment in US history as it joins the rest of the world in fighting the environmental crisis!
Drain the swamp 🇺🇸
