18 states sue EPA over greenhouse gas pollution

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Eighteen states sued the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency on Wednesday for failing
to limit greenhouse gas emissions from new cars and trucks,
one year after the Supreme Court ruled that the agency had
the power to do so.

The suit seeks EPA's response to the high court's April 2,
2007, ruling, a landmark decision seen as a sharp defeat
for the Bush administration's policy on climate change.

While acknowledging the reality of human-caused global
warming, the administration has opposed across-the-board
limits on carbon emissions that make the problem worse.

In addition to the states, officials from three cities and
at 11 environmental groups signed the suit, which seeks
action within 60 days. Environmental lawyers acknowledged a
response is unlikely before President George W. Bush leaves
office.
