The biggest business lobby in the U.S. is pushing for the EPA to hold a public hearing to debate the science of global warming.
The move, calling for the Scopes monkey trial of the 21st Century, is proving too much for some chamber members, from big utilities to Nike and Johnson & Johnson.
Yesterday, the EPA announced it was moving forward with its plan to regulate stationary sources of greenhouse gas, including some 14,000 coal-fired power plants and refineries.
Now the ball is back in the chamber’s court and it’s time for it to decide whether it wants to sue the EPA and try to put the science on trial.
REALscience dissects the petition submitted by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, which reads like an anti-global warming play book.
