The EPA announced that greenhouse gasses endanger human health!!! They stated that the threat of carbon dioxide from burning fossil fuels is one of the main pollutants and should be regulated under the Clean Air Act.
The EPA said that the scientific evidence surrounding climate change clearly shows that greenhouse gases "threaten the public health and welfare of the American people" and that the pollutants — mainly carbon dioxide from burning fossil fuels — should be regulated under the Clean Air Act.
Of course the oil and gas industry is claiming business will be greatly affected by the decision.
Instead of whining maybe they need to go back to the drawing board and come up with ways to clean up their act!
"The implications of today's action by EPA are far-reaching...individual Americans and consumers and businesses alike will be dramatically affected by this decision," said Charles T. Drevna, the president of the National Petrochemical & Refiners Association. Drevna, in a statement, said "it is hardly the time to risk the remainder of the U.S. industrial sector in an attempt to achieve a short-term international public relations victory."
