Obama Administration Issues Finding on Greenhouse Gases

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.Steve Heimel, APRN – AnchorageDownload Audio(MP3)
