Should our children avoid breathing air that has carbon dioxide in it?

Groups Representing Over 5 Million Latinos Call on Congress and Obama to Protect the Clean Air Act | Adrianna Quintero's Blog | Switchboard, from NRDC

This past June, some in the U.S. Senate attempted to weaken the Clean Air Act (CAA) by overturning the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) scientific finding that global warming pollution is harmful to people’s health and welfare.

Thanks to calls, letters and emails from clean air lovers nationwide and sensible minds prevailing in the senate, this attack on our clean air and health was thwarted.

But polluters are a persistent bunch, and as expected, they are at it again. This time, major polluters and lobbyists are trying to block, weaken or delay enforcement of the Clean Air Act. Instead of allowing the EPA to do its job, some legislators want to put our health at risk in order to give polluting industries free rein to dump harmful pollution into our air and into our children’s lungs.
