RICHMOND, Va. (AP) - Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli's
challenge to the federal government's conclusion that greenhouse
gases are dangerous to people has failed on the regulatory front
but remains alive in court.
The Environmental Protection Agency on Thursday rejected 10
petitions for reconsideration of its finding that carbon dioxide
and other emissions contribute to dangerous global warming. One of
those petitions was filed by Cuccinelli, a global warming skeptic.
Cuccinelli also has asked a federal appeals court to review
EPA's findings. He said Thursday that the court is likely to find
that EPA has considered new information without notice or public
comment.
EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson said the petitions were based on
selectively edited data and provided no evidence refuting the
agency's conclusions.
