In a sharply divided vote of 5-4, the high court decided against the EPA\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s assertion that it had no mandate to regulate greenhouse gas emissions. The ruling was a rebuke of the Bush Administration, which has consistently argued against any regulation of industries or established standards on motor vehicle emissions. The EPA could still refuse to act on greenhouse gas pollutants, but in order to do so it would have to publicly determine that greenhouse gases are not harmful to public health and welfare. President Bush, for his part, reacted to the high court\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s decision by stating that, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153anything that happens cannot hurt economic growth,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d and that whatever steps taken, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153must be in concert with what happens internationally.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Environmentalists hailed this past Monday\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Supreme Court decision as a watershed victory in one of the most critical environmental cases in years. <\/p>\n<p>For more information, visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.earthjustice.org\">www.earthjustice.org<\/a>. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>| the entire program GUEST: Tripp Van Noppen, Vice President of Litigation at Earth Justice The U.S. Supreme Court ruled on Monday that the Clean Air Act gives the federal Environmental Protection Agency the authority to regulate greenhouse gases.
