Guest guest Posted July 1, 2006 Report Share Posted July 1, 2006 Global Warming goes from opinion to fact Global Warming goes from opinion to factPosted Jun 29, 2006 PM ET The United States Supreme Court has agreed to hear a case about global warming climate change.The Bush Administration could face a legal challenge over its regulation of carbon dioxide emissions as the Supreme Court has agreed to hear a case brought by Friends of the Earth US, numerous state and city authorities and NGOs. The groups are questioning a 2003 ruling by the Environmental Protection Agency that disavowed its jurisdiction under the Clean Air Act to regulate global warming carbon dioxide emissions. If the court rules against the EPA, the legal status of carbon dioxide in the US would be clarified as climate changing – a position continually denied by the Bush Administration. "This case could have far reaching consequences for climate change policy in the USA," said Friends of the Earth International vice-chair, Tony Juniper. "The Bush Administration's has used scientific uncertainty as a major reason against taking structured action on global warming."Norman Dean, Executive Director, Friends of the Earth United States said that the Supreme Court's decision to hear this case could be a watershed moment in the fight to stop global warming, and went on to say,"The US government's wait and see approach to global warming pollutants isn't working."http://www.halflifesource.com/site/n...rticle7215.htm __________________http://a2vegan.blogspot.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
