EPA to Rule on Carbon Dioxide Emissions
---------------------------------------



The Wall Street Journal reports the Environmental Protection Agency will
soon determine that carbon dioxide emissions represent a danger to the
public and propose new rules to regulate emissions of the greenhouse gas
from a range of industries. Carol Browner, special adviser to the
President on climate change and energy, told the paper that the EPA is
looking at a 2007 Supreme Court ruling that requires the agency to
determine whether carbon dioxide endangers public health or welfare.
