Valin Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 The Boston Globe: Bobby Caina Calvan June 26, 2012 WASHINGTON -- A federal court Tuesday tossed out a challenge to the nation’s first rules limiting greenhouse gases, which the agency adopted as a result of a lawsuit by 12 states including Massachusetts. The US Supreme Court in 2007 ruled in support of the states’ contention that the Environmental Protection Agency, then under direction of the Bush administration, had failed its duty by not offering a “reasoned explanation for its refusal to decide whether greenhouse gases cause or contribute to climate change.” (Snip) The US Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit used its ruling Tuesday to reject four different challenges to the new rules, saying the EPA was relying on clear science and wholly under its authority to draft and enact those rules under the Supreme Court’s ruling. (Snip) All Right! Everyone stop breathing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
