today on the need for Congress to oppose any legislation that would block or delay the EPA from acting on global warming.
Defend the EPA’s Ability to Protect Our Health and EnvironmenYou were probably as disappointed as I was when the Senate failed to pass comprehensive climate and energy legislation before leaving for August recess. While comprehensive legislation remains critical, we now are counting on the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to do its job to protect our health and the environment by reducing the heat-trapping emissions that cause global warming. In 2009, the EPA found that global warming emissions endanger public health and welfare. According to the Supreme Court, this finding means that the agency must limit these pollutants under the Clean Air Act
Unfortunately, some members of Congress, with the backing of the coal, oil, and electric utility industries, are attempting to block the EPA from cutting these emissions.
Your senators and representative are home for the next two weeks, and will be reading local newspapers to see what their constituents are talking about. They need to know that you expect them to do everything they can to begin reducing global warming emissions right away. Please write a letter to the editor today on the need for Congress to oppose any legislation that would block or delay the EPA from acting on global warming.
