I am not a lawyer, but am I reading correctly that the majority opinion cited the concern of “irreparable harm” to the coal industry (which employs ~40,000 people) with no mentions of the “irreparable harm” higher CO2 emissions could bring to the population of (at the time) ~7,500,000,000 people?

The Global Energy Supply in a Decade ‘Is Not a World We’re Going to Recognize’ — Inside Climate News With the U.S. bombing Iran and the Strait of Hormuz closed, energy experts say countries transitioning to renewables will be more resilient in the “face of the shock.”

RFF analyzed modeling conducted by several groups, including the International Energy Agency, ExxonMobil and the Institute of Energy Economics. Some modeling showed that getting to net zero would require global emissions to fall by 13.4 percent annually.
