Climate Change Policy: The Path Ahead

The NYT's Room for Debate blog has posted a series of commentaries on the EPA's decision to reconsider whether greenhouse gases must be regulated under the PSD provisions of the Clean Air Act. In addition to your humble blogger, contributors include Robert Hahn and Peter Passell, Nina Mendelsohn, and John D. Graham and Kenneth R. Richards.

My contribution was edited for space, so I've posted the full essay below.

EPA to Regulate GHGs:

The WSJ reports on recent comments by White House climate czar (or, as I prefer, Energy Empress) Carol Browner:

"EPA's going to look at Mass. Vs. EPA and will make an endangerment finding," Browner told Dow Jones Newswires in an interview. The Supreme Court ordered the EPA in the case to determine if carbon dioxide endangered public health or welfare.

"The next step is a notice of proposed rulemaking," for new regulations on CO2 emissions, Ms. Browner said one the sidelines of the National Governors Association meeting, one of her first public appearances since inauguration.

The story also reports that several Congressional leaders hope to pass climate legislation this year.
