Johnson Hangs Tough EPA chief won't back down on unpopular California auto-emissions decision |

24 Jan 2008 |
News |
| Posted at 3:58 PM on 24 Jan 2008 U.S. EPA Administrator Stephen Johnson appeared before Senate Democrats today to defend his decision to deny California's auto-emissions waiver. Johnson stood his ground while senators assailed his decision as in the pocket of special interests, logic-defying, "shameful," "outrageous," "irresponsible," and "unconscionable." Respon ... |

News |
| Posted at 11:49 AM on 23 Jan 2008 The U.S. EPA only turned over some documents related to its California waiver decision, but allowed Sen. Barbara Boxer's aides to take notes on the rest. Excerpts of the unrelinquished material have been released -- against the EPA's wishes -- confirming what was suspected: prior to the decision, EPA officials told agency Administrator Stephen Johnson that California had "compelling a ... |

News |
| Posted at 10:17 AM on 22 Jan 2008 The U.S. EPA has given Sen. Barbara Boxer (D) only some documents related to the agency's refusal to allow California to regulate car greenhouse-gas emissions -- not all, as she had asked. Missing or redacted documents include a presentation said to predict that EPA would lose if sued over its recalcitrance (which, of course, it has been). Citing executive privilege, the EPA explained in ... |

Not in a Bind Mayoral climate-protecting agreement hasn't necessarily translated into action |

News |
| Posted at 12:44 PM on 11 Jan 2008 Mayors across the country have signed onto the U.S. Mayors Climate Protection Agreement, a nonbinding initiative encouraging city leaders to meet or beat the greenhouse-gas reductions outlined in the U.S.-shunned Kyoto Protocol. So about that nonbinding part: While some city officials have taken concrete steps to reduce emissions, others haven't followed through at all. ... |

The Splice of Rice in China GM crops reduce emissions and could be used as carbon offsets, says biotech company |

Arcadia says its rice requires less nitrogen fertilizer, and farmers planting it should be rewarded with carbon credits for reducing their emissions of greenhouse gas nitrous oxide. The comp ... |

Rebuttal? California stats say state emissions-reduction plan far more effective than federal law |

News |
| Posted at 1:04 PM on 04 Jan 2008 When the U.S. EPA denied California the right to regulate greenhouse-gas emissions from vehicles, the agency reasoned that the just-passed energy bill's boost to national fuel-economy standards would be stronger emissions-reduction policy than the state's plan. California, which has sued, would beg to differ, and has released statistics refuting the EPA's claim. For ... |
