The overturning of the Chevron doctrine means the opinion of experts will count for less

The writer is a science commentator Amid a flurry of US Supreme Court activity — including this week’s granting of partial immunity to ex-president Donald Trump for acts carried out while in office — a SCOTUS ruling on who should pay for government monitors on herring boats seems almost trivial.

That leeway has been used to interpret old laws in the light of new science. Sivas points out, for example, that Congress has never passed climate legislation; the EPA addresses climate issues by applying certain provisions of the Clean Air Act. SCOTUS, however, ruled on Friday that the Chevron doctrine conflicts with an older administrative law — and voted to scrap it. Now, its loss might put climate regulations in the line of fire.
