EPA Says Power Plant Carbon Emissions Aren’t Dangerous. Scientists Disagree. [18]

The Trump EPA on Wednesday proposed a new ruling that heat-trapping carbon gas “emissions from fossil fuel-fired power plants do not contribute significantly to dangerous air pollution. The Associated Press asked 30 different scientists, experts in climate, health and economics, about the scientific reality behind this proposal.
