Two years ago, the Supreme Court ordered the EPA to address climate change and its causes. On 7 December, the EPA released its findings stating that climate change does, in fact, exist and yes, its causes are anthropogenic. No way. Really? They also state that a major cause is motor vehicles. Again, no way. You've gotta be kidding.
So the EPA has finally caught up. Good work. And in the wake of Climategate this is good timing. It will help to alleviate the media hype that is being caused by this. Climate change is real and we need to take action against it, now. This is my blog's main goal, to express that the government has a responsibility in this and they need to own that.
There are some regulations to address this: the Clean Air Act and Executive Orders. And now government officials are in Copenhagen deciding the fate of the world. So what's taking everyone so long to get on board? I can only hope that with these "new" findings by the EPA, the government will start taking some real action against climate change.
We've screamed, we've shouted, we've voted. What do we really need to do for our government to listen up? Just like I believe it's our governments responsibility to take action, it is also our responsibility to take action to get our government to act. Apathy and inaction can no longer exist. We must find the time in our busy lives to do this. Act now.
