The ability of the EPA
to regulate the gasses that are warming our world was affirmed today in a
Federal Appeals Court decision that ruled that the agency was “unambiguously
correct” in its use of existing law to curb global warming. Several states and greenhouse
gas emitting industries had challenged the move by the Environmental Protection
Agency to regulate CO2 and other global warming gasses.
I’m
certain that this decision will be appealed to the Supreme Court and,
considering the present rightward political leaning of the Court, this may only
be a temporary victory for people and the planet. It is nonetheless good news.
