Basic facts: * Over the past century, the global surface temperature of the earth has increased by 0.7 degrees C. It iS projected to reach an average of 2 degrees C by mid-century, the greatest rise in temperature in the last 5,000 years. * The amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is now 380 ppm; if it reaches more than 400 ppm, the tipping point for catastrophic impacts, sea levels could rise dramatically drowning low-lying coastal areas and creating millions of climate refugees. * The U.S., China and the European Union now account for 50 percent of all carbon dioxide emissions into die atmosphere. Compared to the long-term average between 1979 and 2000, ice cover has contracted by some one million square miles (2.61 million square kilometers) - an. area equivalent to the size o...

EPA and NHTSA, on behalf of the Department of Transportation, are issuing this joint proposal to further reduce greenhouse gas emissions and improve fuel economy for light-duty vehicles for model years 2017-2025. This proposal extends the National Program beyond the greenhouse gas and corporate average fuel economy standards set for model years 2012-2016. On May 21, 2010, President Obama issued a Presidential Memorandum requesting that NHTSA and EPA develop through notice and comment rulemaking a coordinated National Program to reduce greenhouse gas emissions of light-duty vehicles for model years 2017- 2025. This proposal, consistent with the President's request, responds to the country's critical need to address global climate change and to reduce oil consumption. NHTSA is proposing C...

THE critical need for urgent action to reduce the level of human- caused greenhouse gases that bring rapid climate change has been deliberately downplayed by the White House, ExxonMobil Corp., the news media, etc. In congressional testimony, NASA scientist and climate change researcher James Hansen reported numerous instances of censorship of his work orchestrated by the White House. Dr. Hansen said: "The effect of the filtering of climate change science during the current administration has been to make the reality of climate change less certain than the facts indicate, and to reduce concern about the relation of climate change to human-made greenhouse gas emissions.
