788 - SCOTUSNot The EPAIs Now Regulating Environmental Protection
About this episode:
Environmental protection has a long history of entanglement with the court system. But the supermajority conservative Supreme Court\xa0could now\xa0become the primary influence in how water, air, and chemicals are regulated, displacing evidence and recommendations from scientists. From the Good Neighbor Rule to the Chevron case, SCOTUS is disempowering environmental protection at a time when the U.S. desperately needs better and more informed regulation for things like air quality, forever chemicals, and major impacts on climate change.
Guests:Dr. Tom Burke\xa0is an\xa0emeritus professor at Johns Hopkins and a former top official with the Environmental Protection Agency in the Obama administration.
Host:Stephanie Desmon, MA,\xa0is a former journalist, author, and the director of public relations and communications for the\xa0Johns Hopkins Center for Communication Programs, the largest center at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health.
