Bush rebuked on inaction on car pollution

High Court rebukes Bush on car pollution (AP)

A car gives off exhaust in Montpelier, Vt., Monday, March 2, 2007. Vermont is a big winner in two major environmental decisions handed down today by the U.S. Supreme Court. Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas linked to global climate change, but the Environmental Protection Agency had been resisting calls to regulate the amount of it coming from vehicle tailpipes. Vermont had joined Massachusetts and other parties in suing to get the EPA to regulate carbon dioxide as a pollutant. Vermont Attorney General William Sorrell says the decision is a major boost for the state, which the car industry is suing for trying to regulate carbon emissions from vehicles.
