Environmental Capital - WSJ.com : Action Jackson: Over-Zealous Regulation a 'Myth,' EPA Boss Says

But Ms. Jackson acknowledged that the agency must address “people’s real fears” about about the costs of curbing global warming.

Ms. Jackson’s comments, in a speech at a Georgetown University Law School event, appeared intended to rebut fears circulating in business and agriculture circles that the agency intends to use its powers under the Clean Air Act to regulate a host of relatively small sources of carbon dioxide, such as bakeries, schools, and restaurants.

“It’s a myth that we’re at a horrible fork in the road, where the EPA is going to regulate cows, Dunkin’ Donuts, Pizza Huts, and baby bottles,” Ms. Jackson said.

Oh? What’s that you say? The Times was arguing that the IPCC report was outdated because climate change was proceeding at a rate that was worse than expected?

That’s quite a stretch considering that virtually the opposite is the case.

That leaves me to ponder as to what could be behind the Times being so behind the times?
