Obama Administration Issues Finding on Greenhouse Gases

Mon, December 7, 2009
Posted in Alaska News

The Obama administration is seeking to strengthen the government’s bargaining position at the Copenhagen climate treaty talks by issuing a long-awaited finding that Carbon Dioxide, Methane and other greenhouse gases are an endangerment to public health. EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson says the rule is the next step in complying with a Supreme Court ruling that said greenhouse gases can be regulated as pollutants. That ruling came down in 2007, and was not acted on by the Bush administration.
