States sue EPA to move on global warming

Submitted by Sanura on Wed, 2008-04-02 12:14.

Seventeen states on Wednesday sued the Bush administration to force it to comply with a Supreme Court ruling that rebuked what justices called inaction on global warming.

The Supreme Court said in April 2007 that carbon dioxide from burning fossil fuels is a pollutant subject to the Clean Air Act. The court directed the EPA to determine if carbon dioxide emissions, linked to global warming, endanger public health and welfare.

It will be interesting to see how long it takes republicans who are all for states rights say they dont have the right to regulate air emissions ,much the same way the Bush admin EPA has filed to stop calif from enacting stricter emissions on cars.. republicans "we are all for states to regulate locally ...xcept when our corporate donors disagree.
