Support the EPA's Stand Against Big Oil and Coal

Subject: Support the EPA's Stand Against Big Oil and Coal

Dear Friends,

Last month, CREDO had a big victory on carbon regulation: On April 17, EPA formally declared carbon dioxide and five other heat-trapping gases to be pollutants that endanger public health and welfare, setting in motion a process that will lead to the regulation of the gases for the first time in the United States. This is a huge step forward in the fight to curb global warming - especially in light of the Senate's refusal to act on this particular issue.

However, the EPA cannot start regulating carbon until they've accepted public comments and can show there's broad support for this policy. Should be a no-brainer, right?

Not for Big Oil and Big Coal. The oil and coal industries are paying lobbyists to wait in line at hearings, and are waging a massive campaign to weaken any new laws from the EPA on this issue. They've spent tens of millions of dollars lobbying in Washington, and they'll stop at nothing to keep the EPA from implementing the strong regulations we need to regulate carbon and other noxious gases.

I just sent an email to EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson urging her to take swift action to regulate carbon and other heat-trapping gases. I hope you will too.

Please have a look and take action.
