New Episode! The War on Facts: Environmental Protection after Chevron
In our most recent episode of 90 Miles from Needles; the Desert Protection Podcast, host Chris Clarke discusses the impact of recent Supreme Court rulings on environmental regulations and the broader consequences for desert protection. He dives into the controversial Chevron Deference Doctrine, its legal history, and how its reversal could affect climate change policy. Highlighting real-world examples like the Clean Air Act and fisheries management, Chris explains the importance of expertise in regulatory decisions. He also shares personal anecdotes about life in the desert, recent extreme weather events, and the resilience of desert ecosystems.
Oh, and a quick reminder: Flash floods aren’t fictional. Avoid hazardous roads no matter how urgently you need groceries. "Turn around, don't drown" isn't just a catchy phrase.
