Brett Kavanaugh is a disaster for the environment

Brett Kavanaugh has been nominated to fill the empty seat on the Supreme Court of the United States/SCOTUS. It's a disastrous idea for a literal million reasons, but for climate change and everything that's at risk with it, it's particularly dangerous in the longterm and worldwide. Others have outlined it more clearly than I can, so here you go:

"When joined by fellow conservatives, he wrote opinions rejecting EPA rules to limit greenhouse gases or air pollution that blows across state lines. And when the majority upheld regulations, including limits on power plants that pump out carbon pollution or put toxic mercury in the air, Kavanaugh filed long dissents, usually arguing that Congress, not the EPA, is the only body with the power to take such steps."

-- LA Times

"As a D.C. appeals court judge, he argued against the EPA’s authority to regulate greenhouse gases, and wrote the majority opinion striking down the EPA’s attempt to regulate hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), which are potent climate pollutants used in cooling applications. He even wrote a majority opinion overturning EPA regulation of air pollution that crosses state lines."
