A forthcoming study aims to establish that lawmakers in 1970 knew scientists considered carbon dioxide an air pollutant and aimed to limit its emissions.
Research uncovers forgotten conversations showing lawmakers' awareness of carbon dioxide's effect on the global climate, supporting emissions regulation.
The study's findings could impact court challenges by emphasizing lawmakers' original intent in emissions regulations, countering the 'major questions' doctrine used by the Supreme Court.
