The highest court in the US has ruled that the government was wrong to say it did not have the power to regulate exhaust gases from new cars and trucks.
Twelve states and 13 campaign groups brought the landmark case against the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
The US Supreme Court said the EPA had offered "no reasoned explanation" for refusing to regulate carbon dioxide and other harmful gas emissions from cars.
The ruling was close, with five judges voting in favour and four dissenting.
...the environmental protection agency. you'ld think they'd be batting for the other side, and actually be the ones calling for emission curbs, wouldn't you?
government agencies. named after things they don't do.
