The Only Really Supreme Laws Are Those of Physics!

It seems likely that any professed US intention to 'lead' attempts to limit the release of 'greenhouse gases' could be blocked by that country's 'Supreme Court' (https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2022/feb/24/supreme-court-case-biden-climate-crisis). The US Supreme Court have reportedly agreed to rule on a case from West Virginia, supported by 18 other Republican-led states. The case basically challenges the Environmental Protection Agency's ability to issue strict regulations, curbing pollution from fossil fuel-fired power stations. If it goes their way, this would enable the US to maintain its status as the biggest polluter on the planet. A ruling facilitating pollution would also increase the risk of water shortages and wild fires in other parts of the US. It appears odd to a European like myself for a collection of politically-appointed lawyers to have such power over the potential future of the planet. I accept that the judges are probably expert on issues relating to politics, commerce and case law. I think, however, it unlikely that many of them have much of an understanding of science. Physics will not be swayed by their rulings.
