In an historic step, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator Lisa Jackson today formally determined that global warming pollution "endangers" the nation's human health and well-being.
"The U.S. is taking its first steps as a nation to confront climate change," said Vickie Patton, deputy general counsel at Environmental Defense Fund. "Global warming threatens our health, our economy, and our children's prosperity. EPA's action is a wake up-call for national policy solutions that secure our economic and environmental future."
Today's landmark action is required by the U.S. Supreme Court, which rejected the Bush EPA's "laundry list" of reasons not to address global warming pollution under the federal Clean Air Act in a landmark April 2, 2007, judicial decision.
