EPA finds carbon emissions pose danger
| Quote: |
| In adding carbon dioxide and five other greenhouse gases to the list of compounds that can be regulated under the Clean Air Act, the EPA creates a legal basis for limiting CO2 emitted from tailpipes � an authority the US Supreme Court has said the agency could claim but that the Bush administration declined. |
But Obama wants a legislative approach . . .
| Quote: |
The EPA�s finding, announced Friday, is likely to act as a big nudge to Congress to take quicker action on new energy and climate legislation that sets carbon-emissions limits. Many lawmakers and companies would prefer to see limits set by Congress rather than regulations set by the EPA. Indeed, the Obama administration has made clear that it, too, prefers a legislative approach. |
And . . .
| Quote: |
| Even without Friday�s finding, thousands of US companies were preparing to report their CO2 emissions in anticipation of another new EPA rule. That proposal would require about 13,000 facilities nationwide to report annual greenhouse-gas emissions beginning in 2011. Companies that emit 25,000 or more metric tons of CO2 equivalents a year are responsible for as much as 90 percent of the nation�s greenhouse-gas emissions, the EPA estimates. |

It's like he hates science. |

The developed worlds' attempts to cut emissions are doomed to fail. Here's why.

Oh yeah, by the way, the science on "Climate Change" is far from "settled." Anyone who claims it is, hates science. |
