A propos de cet article

Paperback. Winner of the Julia Ward Howe Award"The gripping story of the most important environmental law case ever decided by the U.S. Supreme Court."-Scott Turow"There's no better book if you want to understand the past, present, and future of environmental litigation."-Elizabeth Kolbert, author of The Sixth Extinction"In the tradition of A Civil Action, this book makes a compelling story of the court fight that paved the way for regulating the emissions now overheating the planet. It offers a poignant reminder of how far we've come-and how far we still must go."-Bill McKibben, author of The End of Nature"A riveting story, beautifully told."-Foreign Affairs"Wonderful The book is a master class in how the Supreme Court works and, more broadly, how major cases navigate through the legal system."-ScienceOn an unseasonably warm October morning, Joe Mendelson, an idealistic young lawyer working on a shoestring budget for an environmental organization no one had heard of, hand-delivered a petition to the Environmental Protection Agency asking it to restrict greenhouse gas emissions from new cars. The Clean Air Act authorized the EPA to regulate "any air pollutant" that could reasonably be thought to endanger public health. But could something as basic as carbon dioxide really be considered a harmful pollutant? And even if the EPA had the authority to regulate emissions, could it be forced to do so?The Rule of Five tells the dramatic story of how Mendelson and the band of environmental activists and lawyers who joined him carried his case all the way to the Supreme Court. It reveals how accident, infighting, luck, superb lawyering, politics, and the arcane practices of the Supreme Court collided to produce a legal miracle. The final ruling in Massachusetts v. EPA, by a razor-thin 54 margin brilliantly crafted by Justice John Paul Stevens, was a landmark victory that paved the way to important environmental safeguards which the Trump administration fought hard to unravel and the Biden administration seeks to restore and expand.
