Breaking: Supreme Court rules citizens cannot sue power companies for climate change (pdf) ›

That’s the sensationalized headline you’ll read this week. But, what the 8-0 decision really means is that the EPA, under the Clean Air Act, is the proper venue to regulate green house gases from power plants, not individual lawsuits.

Climate Adaptation

by Michael Cotē

I want to punch climate change in the face.

A blog about the interactions between the built environment, people, and nature.

I'm a Washington, DC-based climate adaptation specialist. I help governments and stakeholders around the world increase their capacity to deal with climate impacts.

In addition to traveling and hiking, I research, publish, and lecture on how cities can adapt to climate change.
