The last glimpse we got was 1974,with the 55 MPH National Speed Limit.
In WW-II,it was 35-MPH,and everything was rationed.
All you have to do is give the atmosphere status as a 'person.'
Corporations,even though they're a legal fiction and aren't really persons,are legally recognized as 'persons' as far as the Supreme Court is concerned.
If the atmosphere,which is actually 'real',were to be given the same rights as a legal fiction,the Supreme Court might grant it 'free speech' and 'due process',under the US Constitution, as is now granted to blind,deaf,and dumb Americans,whom cannot represent their own interests.
