The regulation is projected to do more to lower emissions than any previous measure, making it among the [most significant climate regulations in the nation’s history](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRn3d88P0TfaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAyNC8wMy8yMC9jbGltYXRlL2JpZGVuLXBoYXNlLW91dC1nYXMtY2Fycy5odG1sP2NhbXBhaWduX2lkPTU3JmVtYz1lZGl0X25lXzIwMjQwMzIwJmluc3RhbmNlX2lkPTExODExMSZubD10aGUtZXZlbmluZyZyZWdpX2lkPTc3Njc0OTUyJnNlZ21lbnRfaWQ9MTYxMzMyJnRlPTEmdXNlcl9pZD1hYTQ5MWVmN2YxZDk2NGU0OTc5ZmI3ODRlNzRlMDFkN1cDbnl0Qgpl-zxa-2Uv62cAUht0cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW45MEBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAAAM~). Under the new rule, automakers would be required to meet tough average limits on tailpipe emissions across their product lines: They could sell some E.V.s and some gas cars, but if they fail to meet the standard, they would face a hefty penalty. The Environmental Protection Agency projected that the new measure would eliminate more than seven billion tons of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere over 30 years — more than all the greenhouse gases the U.S. produces in a year. The rule is [less forceful than some environmentalists would like](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRn3d88P4QGAWh0dHBzOi8vd3d3Lm55dGltZXMuY29tLzIwMjQvMDMvMjAvYnVzaW5lc3MvbmV3LXJ1bGVzLXdpbGwtc3RpbGwtcHVzaC1jYXJtYWtlcnMtdG8tc2VsbC1tb3JlLWVsZWN0cmljLWNhcnMuaHRtbD9jYW1wYWlnbl9pZD01NyZlbWM9ZWRpdF9uZV8yMDI0MDMyMCZpbnN0YW5jZV9pZD0xMTgxMTEmbmw9dGhlLWV2ZW5pbmcmcmVnaV9pZD03NzY3NDk1MiZzZWdtZW50X2lkPTE2MTMzMiZ0ZT0xJnVzZXJfaWQ9YWE0OTFlZjdmMWQ5NjRlNDk3OWZiNzg0ZTc0ZTAxZDdXA255dEIKZfs8WvtlL-tnAFIbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luOTBAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAD), but it is still expected to speed an enormous industry transformation. Last year, E.V.s made up just 7.6 percent of U.S. car sales, far from the new regulation’s target. Donald Trump, who has weaponized E.V.s in his White House bid, has vowed to reverse President Biden’s climate rules, and recently accused him of destroying the country’s automotive industry. The rule is expected to face a legal challenge by fossil fuel companies and Republican attorneys general and [its fate could be decided by the Supreme Court](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRn3d88P0TlaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAyNC8wMy8yMC9jbGltYXRlL2JpZGVuLWNsZWFuLWNhci1ydWxlLWtleS1mYWN0cy5odG1sP2NhbXBhaWduX2lkPTU3JmVtYz1lZGl0X25lXzIwMjQwMzIwJmluc3RhbmNlX2lkPTExODExMSZubD10aGUtZXZlbmluZyZyZWdpX2lkPTc3Njc0OTUyJnNlZ21lbnRfaWQ9MTYxMzMyJnRlPTEmdXNlcl9pZD1hYTQ5MWVmN2YxZDk2NGU0OTc5ZmI3ODRlNzRlMDFkN1cDbnl0Qgpl-zxa-2Uv62cAUht0cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW45MEBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAAAM~).

The judges, who did not immediately issue a ruling, appeared split. One judge seemed to favor the Biden administration’s argument that it was the federal government’s authority to enforce immigration policies; another appeared likely to favor Texas.

All of us know what aging typically looks like, but less understood is what exactly is happening inside our bodies that causes the physical decline.

They are playful, intelligent and get bored quickly. To keep them happy, both parents and bird owners sometimes turn to screens. The parrots are better at children’s mobile games than you might expect, and [quickly tap on objects as they appear](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRn3d88P0TdaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAyNC8wMy8yMC9zY2llbmNlL3BhcnJvdHMtcGV0LXZpZGVvZ2FtZXMuaHRtbD9jYW1wYWlnbl9pZD01NyZlbWM9ZWRpdF9uZV8yMDI0MDMyMCZpbnN0YW5jZV9pZD0xMTgxMTEmbmw9dGhlLWV2ZW5pbmcmcmVnaV9pZD03NzY3NDk1MiZzZWdtZW50X2lkPTE2MTMzMiZ0ZT0xJnVzZXJfaWQ9YWE0OTFlZjdmMWQ5NjRlNDk3OWZiNzg0ZTc0ZTAxZDdXA255dEIKZfs8WvtlL-tnAFIbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luOTBAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAD). A new study suggests that similar apps could be a great enrichment tool for them, but developers should make sure the games are designed to be licked. Parrots tend to use their tongue to tap the screen. Have an entertaining evening. Thanks for reading. I’ll be back tomorrow. — Matthew We welcome your feedback. Write to us at evening@nytimes.com.
