Supreme Court's EPA ruling is a step back in the fight against climate change, experts say - CBS News



The Supreme Court has ruled that the EPA doesn't have the authority under the Clean Air Act to regulate greenhouse gas emissions from power plants — an industry making up nearly a quarter of the nation's emissions. "Self-regulation doesn't exist in the fossil fuel industry," climate and health behavioral scientist Sweta Chakraborty said. "...We are allowing for a free-for-all. And it couldn't be a worse time."
