The National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) is a critical environmental and civil rights law that gives communities the chance to weigh in on federal projects that may affect their neighborhoods, nearby lands and waters, air quality and more. Known as the “look before you leap” law, federal environmental reviews required by NEPA are an asset, not an impediment, to sound decision-making.

A month from now, the Supreme Court will hear a case about an animal cruelty law. It’s not an environmental law case, but the ruling could impact the authority of states to address climate change. Odds are that its impact will be limited, but you can never be sure of what five Justices might decide to do on any given day. Cases involving issues like this one are hard to predict because they tend to scramble the usual ideological alliances.

The Union of Concerned Scientists has declared summer “ Danger Season ” because of the increasingly destructive and extreme weather events worsened by a changing climate. While some of the dangers that summer brings are more obvious—such as raging wildfires and devastating winds and floods from hurricanes—other dangers may be less obvious or intuitive, such as inhaling smoke from wildfires, which can be as harmful to your health as smoking several cigarettes a day, depending on the severity.
