As Prof. Travis Brandon <a href=\"https:\/\/journals.law.harvard.edu\/elr\/2015\/07\/12\/fearful-asymmetry-how-the-absence-of-public-participation-in-section-7-of-the-esa-can-make-the-best-available-science-unavailable-for-judicial-review\/\">explains<\/a>, the lack of public comment in interagency consultations means that the Services are likely to get a skewed view of the potential harm created by federal agency action, a fact which courts should take into account when reviewing their decisions under the ESA.<\/p>\n<p>39.2 also includes several articles analyzing legal issues surrounding climate-change policy, just in time for the UNFCCC negotiations in Paris this December. Prof. Arden Rowell <a href=\"https:\/\/journals.law.harvard.edu\/elr\/2015\/07\/12\/foreign-impacts-and-climate-change\/\">describes<\/a>\u00a0the rise of regulatory analyses which justify agency regulation by referencing the global cost of carbon emissions, rather than limiting themselves to domestic considerations. As California continues to pass first-of-its-kind legislation intended to internalize the cost of carbon emissions in fuel production, Prof. Jeffrey Schmitt <a href=\"https:\/\/journals.law.harvard.edu\/elr\/2015\/07\/12\/making-sense-of-extraterritoriality-why-californias-progressive-global-warming-and-animal-welfare-legislation-does-not-violate-the-dormant-commerce-clause\/\">proposes<\/a> a new test to determine whether such laws have an unconstitutional extraterritorial effect. Turning to the utilities sector,\u00a0Shelly Welton,\u00a0the former Deputy Director of Columbia&#8217;s Center for Climate Change Law, <a href=\"https:\/\/journals.law.harvard.edu\/elr\/2015\/07\/12\/non-transmission-alternatives\/\">discusses<\/a> the failure of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission to promote innovation in energy efficiency, storage, demand response, and distributed generation. And Prof. David Wirth\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/journals.law.harvard.edu\/elr\/2015\/07\/12\/the-international-and-domestic-law-of-climate-change-a-binding-international-agreement-without-the-senate-or-congress\/\">argues<\/a>\u00a0that the President has substantial power to join and implement a multilateral\u00a0treaty on climate action, such as might come out of the Paris conference,\u00a0without congressional action.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, this issue includes a <a href=\"http:\/\/harvardelr.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/79\/2015\/07\/Barclay-39-HELR-567.pdf\">Comment <\/a>on\u00a0<em>CTS Corp. v. Waldburger\u00a0<\/em>from Michael Barclay,\u00a0who graduated from HLS this year and has served as an article editor for\u00a0<em>ELR<\/em>. \u00a0In\u00a0<em>CTS Corp.<\/em>, the Supreme Court ruled that\u00a0CERCLA, which preempts statutes of limitation, \u00a0does not also preempt statutes of repose. (Statutes of repose bar suits brought too long after a defendant&#8217;s last act, rather than turning on the plaintiff&#8217;s discovery of harm, as statutes of limitation do.)\u00a0The Comment discusses the case&#8217;s practical and legal consequences, particularly as regard plaintiffs who could be barred from suing under CERCLA or\u00a0similar\u00a0laws because the harm from an environmental pollutant took too long to manifest.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We are pleased\u00a0to present our online readership with Issue 2 of the 39th Volume of the\u00a0Harvard Environmental Law Review.
