Joining pressure and lawsuit threats from California, Florida, and politicians from throughout the nation, the public has decided to weigh in on the EPA's global warming inaction. Not that its making EPA Administrator Steven Johnson move all that more quickly...
The Environmental Protection Agency has received 60,000 comments on California's effort to implement its own landmark global-warming law.[...]
Johnson said that he had committed to deciding by the end of the year but that the agency needed time to go through the comments it had received. This is the first time the EPA has considered regulating carbon dioxide as a pollutant, he noted.
That noted paragon of level-headed judgment, Senator Inhofe, is also shown here to be encouraging the EPA to take its time in sifting through the public comments and judging accordingly. We're somehow wagering that aside from him, most of those comments (and yes, this is a large number for a government agency to receive) aren't urging a go-slow approach...
