Global Warming

In a Federal Register notice published April 24, EPA Administrator, Lisa Jackson proposes to make the finding that greenhouse gases in the atmosphere endanger the public health and welfare of current and future generations. An endangerment finding would require EPA to issue emissions limits on six greenhouse gases—carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, hydrofluorocarbons, perfluorocarbons, and sulfur hexafluoride—from new and modified stationary sources, as well as mobile sources, such as cars and light trucks.
