Support the EPA's Stand Against Big Oil and Coal

Last month, CREDO had a big victory on carbon regulation: On April 17, EPA formally declared carbon dioxide and five other heat-trapping gases to be pollutants that endanger public health and welfare, setting in motion a process that will lead to the regulation of the gases for the first time in the United States. This is a huge step forward in the fight to curb global warming - especially in light of the Senate's refusal to act on this particular issue.

However, the EPA cannot start regulating carbon until they've accepted public comments and can show there's broad support for this policy. Should be a no-brainer, right?

Not for Big Oil and Big Coal. The oil and coal industries are paying lobbyists to wait in line at hearings, and are waging a massive campaign to weaken any new laws from the EPA on this issue. They've spent tens of millions of dollars lobbying in Washington, and they'll stop at nothing to keep the EPA from implementing the strong regulations we need to regulate carbon and other noxious gases.

We need to stand together and stand strong on this issue, and show the EPA that we support their efforts to regulate carbon. Send a message today to EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson: Tell her that the EPA must regulate carbon as much and as soon as possible.

Administrator Jackson, I write today to urge you and the EPA to regulate carbon dioxide and five other heat trapping gases - per the formal declaration of April 17th (Docket ID No.EPA-HQ-OAR-2009-0171). Global warming is one of the greatest problems facing our society, and we cannot afford to drag our feet as Big Oil and Big Coal prolong this fight. Please regulate these gases to the fullest extent of your ability as soon as you possibly can - Americans and the world are counting on you.
