At this moment a very important opportunity to address global warming is taking place at the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The EPA for years has claimed it doesn't have the authority under the Clean Air Act to regulate greenhouse gas emissions that cause global warming. Recently, the Supreme Court rejected the EPA claims and said that if greenhouse gases "endanger the public health and welfare" they can regulate. This decision prompted the EPA to ask that very question to the public during an open comment period that ends November 28th, 2008.

NWF believes there is no greater threat to people and wildlife than global warming, please let EPA know you think so too! Unfortunately, big industry is stacking the deck with their own grassroots drive to submit comments to keep the EPA from going forward with regulations. To counter, NWF has launched a new campaign to get the public to submit comments to urge the EPA to take action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
