Supreme Court Rules That Federal Government's Duty Is To Regulate Global Warming Emissions from Cars

"The Supreme Court ordered the federal government on Monday [4/2/07] to take a fresh look at regulating carbon dioxide emissions from cars, a rebuke to Bush administration policy on global warming. In a 5-4 decision, the court said the Clean Air Act gives the Environmental Protection Agency the authority to regulate the emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases from cars." - excerpt from this New York Times article.
