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.
Methane, the primary component of natural gas, is a potent greenhouse gas, with 25 times the heat-trapping potential of carbon dioxide, CO2, over a 100-year period. CO2 is the most abundant greenhouse gas, but methane is more damaging to the climate. Environmental groups have pushed for methane standards for both new and existing sources because methane is over 80 times more potent than carbon dioxide, CO2, when it comes to climate change in the short term.
