Analysis Summary
A climate scientist quoted a New York Times article observing that Supreme Court justices did not discuss climate harms while debating a power industry regulation, and characterized the court as a threat to climate action. The NYT quote appears accurate based on the linked article, but the independent search results do not confirm details of the specific Obama plan debate or the court case context that would ground this critique.

“The Supreme Court is debating an Obama plan and its possible burden on the power industry”
