Bush Moving on Air Pollution
http://www.lasvegassun.com/sunbin/stories/bw-wh/2007/may/14/051405990.html

WASHINGTON (AP) - President Bush responded to a Supreme Court environmental ruling by settling on regulatory changes that don't need congressional approval, the White House said Monday.

Bush is announcing the steps he is directing his administration to take in a Rose Garden appearance later Monday.

Last month, the high court rebuked his administration for its inaction on global warming. In a 5-4 decision, it declared that carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases qualify as air pollutants under the Clean Air Act and thus can be regulated by the Environmental Protection Agency.

The court also said that the "laundry list" of reasons the administration has given for declining to do so are insufficient, and that the agency must regulate carbon dioxide, the leading gas linked to global warming, it finds that it endangers public health.
