The Supreme Court has ordered the federal government to take a fresh look at regulating carbon dioxide emissions from cars, a rebuke to Bush administration policy on globalย warming.

In a 5-4 decision, the court said the Clean Air Act gives the Environmental Protection Agency the authority to regulate the emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases fromย cars.

Massachusetts Attorney General, Martha Coakley, states : โ€œDespite acknowledging that global warming poses serious dangers to our environment and health, the Bush Administration has done little or nothing to regulate greenhouse gas emissions. As a result of todayโ€™s landmark ruling, EPA can no longer hide behind the fiction that it lacks any regulatory authority to address the problem of globalย warming.โ€

The case was led by the State of Masschusetts along with 11 otherย States.
