The recycling room in our yard has been dysfunctional since September due to a fire. Today when I went there to throw our garbage away the key wouldn't fit. They had finally shut it down. This meant that I had to go an extra 200 meters to the next facility. After having discharged the garbage and as I was going back home in the dark rainy evening in my clogs I received great news on the radio. The U.S. EPA had declared greenhouse gases a health hazard which would empower President Obama to make a difference in Copenhagen. The republicans in Congress wouldn't drag him down anymore.
The U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency declared carbon dioxide a health hazard today, paving the
way for new regulation of emissions from sources such as power
plants, factories, cars and trucks.
The move, on the opening day of an international climate
summit in Copenhagen, arms President Barack Obama with new
regulatory powers that could help forge consensus in efforts to
curb global warming. Obama gains standing when asking other
nations to make commitments for a new global climate treaty,
said Kevin Book, a Washington-based managing director for
analysis firm ClearView Energy Partners LLC.
