Conservative and liberal Supreme Court justices alike have claimed that legislators in 1970 would have been unfamiliar with the climate-altering effects of CO2, and these assertions have supported arguments that the law should not be used to regulate against climate change. In collaborative research with colleagues at Harvard and Duke, Dr. Lanier-Christensen demonstrates this is false: Clean Air Act architects intended for CO2 and its potential climatic impacts to be covered by the law. Their findings demonstrate that legislators conceptualized CO2 as pollution akin to radioactive fallout, pesticides, and smog, and that this knowledge informed the landmark air pollution law. This research provides the definitive historical analysis of what Congress meant when they included “climate” in the law and aims to strengthen legal claims pertaining to the EPA’s ability to tackle climate change.
