A well-documented rise in global temperatures has coincided with a significant increase in the concentration of carbon dioxide i

n the atmosphere. Many scientists believe that the two trends are related, because when carbon dioxide is released into the atmosphere, it produces a greenhouse effect, trapping solar heat. Under the Clean Air Act (CAA), the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is authorized to regulate “any” air pollutants “emitted into . . . the ambient air” that in its “judgment cause, or contribute to, air pollution.” A group of private organizations asked the EPA to regulate carbon dioxide and other “greenhouse gas” emissions from new motor vehicles. The EPA refused, stating that Congress last amended the CAA in 1990 without authorizing new, binding limits on auto emissions. Nineteen states, including Massachusetts, asked a district court to review the EPA’s denial. Did the EPA have the authority to regulate greenhouse gas emissions from new motor vehicles? If so, was its stated reason for refusing to do so consistent with that authority? Discuss.

Under the Clean Air Act, the EPA lacked the authority to regulate carbon dioxide and other “greenhouse gas” emissions from new motor vehicles.

<h3>What is EPA's regulatory authority?</h3>

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has the responsibility of:

  • Protecting people and the environment from significant health risks.
  • Sponsoring and conducting research for the development and enforcement of environmental regulations.

Under the Clean Air Act, the EPA was not explicitly authorized to regulate greenhouse gas emissions.

Thus, since air pollutants, including greenhouse gas, cause air pollution, the EPA should not refuse to regulate carbon dioxide and other “greenhouse gas” emissions from new motor vehicles.

What are taxes ? And why do you need to pay them ?
oksano4ka [1.4K]
DescriptionA tax is a compulsory financial charge or some other type of levy imposed upon a taxpayer by a governmental organization in order to fund government spending and various public expenditures. A failure to pay, along with evasion of or resistance to taxation, is punishable by law.


We pay taxes because the federal, state, and municipal governments enact tax laws. That tax revenue pays for a variety of government services. The federal government collects about the same as the state and local governments combined.

hope this helps.
