High Court Rebukes Bush on Car Pollution

WASHINGTON (AP) - The Supreme Court rebuked the Bush administration
Monday for its inaction on global warming in a decision that could
lead to more fuel- efficient cars as early as next year.
The court, in a 5-4 ruling in its first case on climate change,
declared that carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases are air
pollutants under the Clean Air Act.
The Environmental Protection Agency has the authority to regulate
those emissions from new cars and trucks under the landmark
environment law, and the "laundry list" of reasons it has given for
declining to do so are insufficient, the court said.
