The Obama administration adopted it's climate change plan B today, which formally declares CO2 emissions a public danger and enables them to cap greenhouse gas emissions without the approval of the senate. The announcement declaring that CO2 is a hazard to public health came today during the Copenhagen climate change summit. This formal acknowledgement also allows the Environmental Protection Agency to cap carbon emissions from major sources like coal power plants and cars. Lisa Jackson, the head of the EPA said, "This administration will not ignore science or the law any longer, nor will we ignore the responsibility we owe to our children and our grandchildren".
