courant.com | Climate Battle Reaches Vermont: "BURLINGTON, Vt. -- This would seem an improbable venue for a fight over auto emissions and global warming. Average temperatures have been colder than normal for the past month, and Vermont has fewer registered motor vehicles than any other state.
But in a fifth-floor federal courtroom here, the first trial in what could be a long legal battle over the issue is scheduled to begin next month.
It pits the auto industry against Vermont and several environmental groups over a plan to reduce greenhouse gases that cause global warming by setting limits on emissions from cars, vans, pickups and SUVs."
