After years of pressure, the EPA is finally moving to use the Clean Air Act to curb global warming -- but Alaska Senator Lisa Murkowski is planning to upend the EPA's implementation plans and weaken one of our most successful environmental laws.
 
Next week, Murkowski is set to introduce an amendment in the Senate that would cripple the Clean Air Act by reversing the EPA's critical finding that greenhouse gas pollution endangers public health. The finding, years in the making and the result of a Supreme Court decision, is the first step in actually implementing the Act to curb greenhouse pollution.

With climate legislation weak and stalled in the Senate, and the Copenhagen climate talks' failure to produce a binding, science-based agreement, the Clean Air Act is our best bet for cutting carbon in our atmosphere to 350 parts per million. Swift action, now, is necessary to avoid a global meltdown -- we can't let Murkowski eviscerate our best existing tool for reducing greenhouse gas pollution.

Please take one minute today to tell the Senate we need the Clean Air Act to curb global warming, and to oppose all moves like Murkowski's to gut the Act.
