    requires the federal government to maintain a climate that supports human life.

    Unironically this is a new frontier of ghoul behevior. The next time a person tells me some shit like Biden is "the most progressive president since FDR" I'm straight up spitting in their face.

      Biden can't just dictate DOJ positions. DOJ is saying that, as a matter of law the Constitution doesn't say that. That if they use that argument in court, they'll lose. They're not saying that's a good thing and they're certainly not saying that Biden doesn't care about climate change.

      If I had any courage, I should keep track of all this shit Biden and his team has done and when CHUDs whine, point to it and ask "He's giving you everything you want, what more do you want?"

      God, I wish it was the opposite, both parties favor the left, but Republicans just give the normies lip service, which seems to be what appeases them anyways.

    I mean, they're right. Nothing in the constitution says anything about the climate.

    In this case I don't think "It's not a constitutional right" means "so I guess we're going to do nothing". It's just that some legal groundwork needs to happen.

    Which leads directly to the statement "there is no constitutional right that the government will protect the citizens of this country from harm".

    Then what the fuck do we need government for?

    I mean, they're not wrong, but it shouldn't matter. I don't know why this was brought up when it was assumed to be the case to begin with.

    Congress still needs to pass legislation to try and limit climate change as much as possible.
