Governors Object to EPA Regulation of Greenhouse Gases

Gov. Joe Manchin has joined governors from about 20 other states in signing a letter to Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid and the minority leaders of the House and Senate, asking them to restrain EPA from regulating greenhouse gases. They said that such regulation, with its huge effect on the economy, was too important to be left to an administrative agency.

This is another sign that the climate change debate has changed and is trending against the forces of those who believe that humans are causing fundamental changes in global climate. A recent Gallup poll shows fewer people than ever believe that global climate change poses a significant risk, and politicians have certainly taken notice.
