EDF Joins Lawsuit Against EPA

*** BREAKING NEWS *** BREAKING NEWS ***

BREAKING NEWS ***

Dear Rogene,

Today, we joined a lawsuit requiring the EPA to

regulate global warming pollution.

In complete defiance of last year's Supreme Court

ruling, the Environmental Protection Agency has refused to issue

a formal determination that global warming pollution endangers

public health or welfare.

Today, Environmental Defense Fund joined with a

dozen states and ten other non-profit organizations to file suit

to require the EPA to comply with the Supreme Court's decision

and issue its determination within 60 days.

The EPA is defying the Supreme

Court and endangering our economy, our environment, and

our health. The law and the science are clear: The EPA must

regulate global warming causing pollution.

Instead, as today's Washington Post

editorial reports, EPA administrator has spent

the last year "making decisions that increased U.S.

contributions to global warming." This includes denying

California's waiver request to cut global warming pollution from

automobiles -- an unprecedented step that derailed similar

efforts in 11 other states.

For more background on the case, read our Climate 411 blog post.

Global warming is the most urgent environmental

threat facing the planet today. We have a chance to solve this

crisis, but we need national action now to unleash the clean

energy technologies that will reinvent energy and stop global

warming.

We will keep you posted on this case and our

larger campaign to pass a national cap on America's global

warming pollution this year.

Thanks for all that you do.
