(Massachusetts Attorney General Tom) Reilly Appeals Greenhouse-gas Ruling
Massachusetts Attorney General Thomas Reilly is asking a federal appeals court to require the Bush administration to regulate industrial gases that have been blamed for global warming. In July, a three-judge panel of the US Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia ruled that the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) acted properly when it rejected tougher controls over carbon dioxide and other automobile pollutants. (However,) scientists say those gases trap heat in the atmosphere like a greenhouse. (So,) Reilly is now asking the full appeals court to reconsider the decision. Reilly, the lead attorney general in the case, is joined by his counterparts in Maine, New Mexico, Oregon, Rhode Island, and the District of Columbia. The states argue that the EPA may not refuse to regulate greenhouse gases simply because it opposes such regulation on policy grounds. (AP)
