WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW

The scientific consensus is clear on climate change and dangerous ramifications of industrial carbon pollution. Unfortunately, corporate polluters are spending millions on lobbying campaigns to muddle the issue and paralyze progress.

Here's the deal: The EPA is considering historic new standards to limit harmful carbon pollution. Currently big power companies are able to dump unlimited amounts of industrial carbon into our air. But scientists and the academic community are under siege from the energy industry.

We need informed citizens to weigh in. These clean air standards would improve the quality of our air and protect our children from harmful pollution that triggers asthma attacks and permanent lung damage.

But big power companies are spending millions of dollars lobbying to stop them. These corporate polluters get billions in special tax loopholes and government handouts. And now they're trying to block these vital new public health safeguards in order to keep dumping unlimited amounts of industrial carbon pollution into our air.
