Fifteen states have polluter-driven resolutions to deny climate threat	3.3.2010	Grist Magazine
Cross-posted from the Wonk Room . Yesterday, the South Dakota legislature passed a resolution telling public schools to teach “balance” about the “ prejudiced ” science of climate change by a vote of 37-33. Earlier language that ascribed “ astrological ” influences to global warming was stripped from the final version. This act of conspiracy-driven ideology is hardly alone—a Wonk Room investigation has found at least 15 state legislatures attempting to prevent limits on greenhouse gas pollution. The states of Alabama and Utah have already adopted resolutions calling for the overturn of the Environmental Protection Agency’s global warming endangerment finding , with legislators in 13 more ...

Coal-Fired Power on the Way Out?	25.2.2010	CommonDreams.org Headlines
by Lester R. Brown WASHINGTON - The past two years have witnessed the emergence of a powerful movement opposing the construction of new coal-fired power plants in the United States. Initially led by environmental groups, both national and local, it has since been joined by prominent national political leaders and many state governors. The principal reason for opposing coal plants is that they are changing the earth's climate. There is also the effect of mercury emissions on health and the 23,600 U.S. deaths each year from power plant air pollution. read ...

Coal-fired power on the way out?	24.2.2010	Grist Magazine
The past two years have witnessed the emergence of a powerful movement opposing the construction of new coal-fired power plants in the United States. Initially led by environmental groups, both national and local, it has since been joined by prominent national political leaders and many state governors. The principal reason for opposing coal plants is that they are changing the earth’s climate. There is also the effect of mercury emissions on health and the 23,600 U.S. deaths each year from power plant air pollution. Over the last few years the coal industry has suffered one setback after another. The Sierra Club, which has kept a tally of proposed coal-fired power plants and their fates since 2000, reports that 123 plants have been ...

EPA’s Jackson establishes deliberative path to control global warming pollution	23.2.2010	Gristmill
Big oil, the Chamber of Commerce , the National Association of Manufacturers (NAM), and senators including Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) are whipping up hysterical fears that the Environmental Protection Agency will use its existing authority under the Clean Air Act to immediately restrict global warming pollution for even the smallest of emitters. For instance, NAM President John Engler makes the ridiculous claim that “If EPA moves forward and begins regulating stationary sources, it will open the door for them to regulate everything from industrial facilities to farms to even American homes.” In fact, EPA’s efforts are simply following the law of the land established by the  Supreme Court decision in ...

Washington - A new study further bolsters concerns that pollution blowing across the Pacific Ocean from China and other rapidly developing Asian nations may swamp efforts to clean up the air in the Western United States and make it difficult for states and cities to meet federal standards. The study, based on 100,000 measurements over 25 years and a computer model tracking air-flow patterns, found that during the spring, ozone from Asia reaches Washington, Oregon, California and other states west of the Rocky Mountains. read more
