States move to force EPA to respond to ruling on global warming

Vermont Public Radio reports that "Attorneys general from 17 states, including Vermont, and several environmental groups are taking the EPA back to court to try to force it comply with a Supreme Court ruling that rebuked the Bush administration for inaction on global warming." Indeed one year ago the Supreme Court ruled that "carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases are air pollutants under the Clean Air Act, and ordered the EPA to take action." According to the states' court filing, the "EPA has not issued a decision on regulation." The states "seek to compel the EPA to act within 60 days."
