• The Supreme Court decision in West Virginia v. EPA restricts the federal government's ability to limit greenhouse gas emissions, which the document describes as a blow to the Biden administration's agenda and a threat to the goal of limiting temperature rise to 1.5 degrees C.
• The legal challenge was initiated by Republican-led states and coal companies, allegedly as part of a coordinated effort involving conservative legal activists and funders linked to the coal and oil industries, while many utilities supported the EPA's regulatory authority.
