The Environmental Protection Agency declared today that carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases are harmful to people and the environment. The administration will not ignore science or the law any longer, nor will we avoid the responsibility we owe to our children and our grandchildren, EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson said.
Greenhouse gases - we can't live without them. The Earth has a natural greenhouse effectâit has been around since the planet formed and has sustained life for many millions of years. We have always had greenhouse gases in our atmosphere. Without them the Earth would be too cold for us, or any other living thing, to survive. Naturally-occurring greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide and methane, allow solar radiation to reach the Earthâs surface, while trapping radiation from the Earth on its way back out to space.
