文章的主旨在于探讨以传统的对于空气污染的治理路径来规制温室气体排放的可能性问题,即现有的大气污染防治和相关的环境保护法律制度和相关机制是否可以作为碳减排的核心机制?这是美国国内应对气候变化法律发展的一个重要特征。自美国最高法院在2007年通过判例将温室气体解释为可依《清洁空气法》(CAA)的空气污染物后,美国环境保护总局(EPA)即开始依据其在CAA下的广泛监管权力制定“碳污染”的监管规则。
The main thrust of the article is to explore the possibility of regulating greenhouse gas emissions using the traditional path of air pollution control, that is, whether existing air pollution control and related legal systems of environmental protection and related mechanisms can serve as a core carbon reduction mechanism This is an important feature of the domestic legal response to climate change in the United States. Since the Supreme Court of the United States passed a precedent in 2007 to interpret greenhouse gases as air pollutants that are subject to the Clean Air Act (CAA), the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has begun to formulate a plan based on its extensive regulatory authority under CAA. “Carbon pollution” regulatory rules.
