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.
When we burn fossil fuels like coal and petroleum gas, carbon dioxide and other gases are released into the atmosphere. These emissions trap heat close to the earth, causing what is known as the greenhouse effect.. The earth's rising temperature has led to higher sea levels, extreme storms and other problems that stem from a changing climate.
