UPDATE: EPA's Plans Seen Caught Between Autos, Environment
By Siobhan Hughes
April 13, 2009
From the page: "The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency had planned to announce this week that it has found that carbon dioxide emissions pose a danger to the public, according to people familiar with the matter. The plan has been to start with automobile emissions, which were the subject of a 2007 Supreme Court decision that found carbon dioxide and other gases are pollutants that the EPA may regulate.
The plan is turning out to be not so simple to roll out -- reflecting the same tensions that dogged EPA scientists under the Bush administration. The White House's policy-coordinating arm "is conducting an interagency review of the finding as expeditiously as possible to consider all the relevant issues," said Kenneth Baer, an Office of Management and Budget spokesman. U.S. carmakers, which are surviving on billions on government loans as they work to show they are viable, say they are willing to make cleaner cars -- provided that the technology is available. Environmentalists want emissions standards for vehicles no matter what, saying that the viability of the industry depends on hard-and-fast standards, not on giving automakers an out.
The tensions will be on display next week, when EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson, Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood, and Energy Secretary Steven Chu testify before a House panel that is pushing legislation to force mandatory reductions in greenhouse-gas emissions. House Energy and Commerce Committee Chairman Henry Waxman, D-Calif., has said that he plans to pass a bill out of his committee by the end of May."

Governor vetoes Kansas coal plant bill
By JOHN MILLBURN
April 13, 2009
From the page: "Gov. Kathleen Sebelius followed through Monday on a promise to veto a bill that would allow construction of two coal-fired power plants in southwest Kansas.
The measure was the fourth coal plant bill the governor has rejected in the past two years. Sebelius said in her veto message that the plants would have produced too much carbon dioxide and given too little power to the state."

World will not meet 2C warming target, climate change experts agree
byDavid Adam, environment correspondent
The Guardian, Tuesday 14 April 2009
From the page: "Almost nine out of 10 climate scientists do not believe political efforts to restrict global warming to 2C will succeed, a Guardian poll reveals today. An average rise of 4-5C by the end of this century is more likely, they say, given soaring carbon emissions and political constraints."
Such a change would disrupt food and water supplies, exterminate thousands of species of plants and animals and trigger massive sea level rises that would swamp the homes of hundreds of millions of people."
