by Richard Stuebi
This past week, the U.S. Supreme Court handed down a landmark verdict against the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.

In essence, the verdict demands that EPA justify why it should continue to exempt carbon dioxide from being regulated as a pollutant, given the increasing evidence that climate change is an urgent environmental problem and that CO2 is a major contributor to it.
It's getting harder to see how the U.S. government will be able to avoid taking material action soon to deal with carbon dioxide emissions.
