For today's daily action, we ask you to read about an important Supreme Court decision that came down earlier this week, and that is a victory for clean air and our environment.
WHY? 2006 was the hottest year on record, and the United States is the top global warming polluter in the world. But there has been an absence of leadership from the U.S. federal government, and so cities, states and environmental organizations have stepped up to the plate. This week, the Supreme Court dealt a decisive victory to these groups when it ruled in their favor in Massachusetts v. EPA, ruling that greenhouse gases are pollutants covered under the Clean Air Act, and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has the authority to regulate these pollutants. In addition, the court ruled that EPA couldn’t refuse to regulate these emissions based on political reasons.
