Biden Should Bet the Farm

Biden Should Bet the Farm Abigail E. André Share: President Biden has placed climate change at the center of his administration and recognizes that “we’ve already waited too long to deal with th[e] climate crisis and we can’t wait any longer. . . we desperately need a unified national response.” To tackle this challenge, President Biden appointed climate and environmental justice (EJ) leaders before taking office, reentered the Paris Climate Accord hours after his inauguration, and shortly thereafter issued executive orders on climate and racial equity that lay the groundwork for swift action to address the climate crisis and its disproportionate impact on historically underserved communities. Further, on April 22, 2021, the administration announced an aggressive plan to reduce emissions by 50 to 52 percent of 2005 levels by 2030 (2030 Climate Plan). 

For whom CERCLA tolls

For whom CERCLA tolls Share: In fall 2020, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit affirmed a district court’s dismissal of a wrongful death action allegedly stemming from exposure to radioactive chemicals. Pinares v. United Technologies Corp. et al., 973 F.3d 1254 (11th Cir. 2021). In so doing, the Eleventh Circuit traced the legal constellation of public liability actions under the federal Price-Anderson Act (PAA) and Florida’s statute of limitations to find that the action was time-barred—rejecting the appellants’ claims that the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act’s (CERCLA) discovery-tolling provision could keep their claims alive.
