Christian Science Monitor: In a case with major environmental and economic implications, the US Supreme Court ruled on Monday that the Environmental Protection Agency exceeded its authority when it sought to substantially expand its ability to control emissions of greenhouse gases across America. In a 5-to-4 decision, the high court moved to sharply restrict the EPAs broad conception of its own power to address the environmental threat of global warming.
