Balancing Mandate and Discretion in the Institutional Design of Federal Climate Change Policy

Northwestern University Law Review Colloquy
2008

As 2007 drew to a close, climate change dominated the environmental law and policy agenda. A perfect storm of events has focused attention both in the media and on Capitol Hill, to an unprecedented degree, on the need to address climate change. These events include a series of reports on climate change issued by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) throughout 2007, the award of the Nobel Peace Prize to former Vice President Al Gore and the IPCC, the devastation wrought by Hurricane Katrina and discussion among scientists about whether climate change tends to increase hurricane intensity, the wildfires in southern California, a series of international climate change conferences culminating in a year-end conference under the United Nations Framework Convention of Climate Change in Bali, identification of links between climate change and national security, and the steady stream of scientific reports documenting the degree to which climate change has already begun to alter the planetary environment in ways that often exceed previous predictions. Late in 2007, a long-time congressional supporter of tougher fuel efficiency standards for automobiles, when discussing an energy bill to address aspects of climate change, stated: “Things are now dramatically and in a telescoped time frame all coming together to address these issues that have been on a 30-year detour.”
