The U.S. Supreme Court on Thursday (June 30) seriously limited the federal government’s means to regulate greenhouse gasoline emissions, in a 6-3 ruling split in between the court’s conservative greater part and liberal minority.

Ruling on the situation, called West Virginia v. the Environmental Safety Agency (EPA), the court’s six conservative justices held that the EPA — which was set up in 1970 to suppress widespread air pollution and apply national environmental security policies — does not have the authority to control greenhouse gas emissions on a national scale without having specific approval from the U.S. Congress.
