EPA: Greenhouse Gases Are A Danger/Must Be Regulated

The Associated Press is reporting that, later today, EPA will release findings that greenhouse gases are endangering people's health and must be regulated. From the article, "Under a Supreme Court ruling, the so-called endangerment finding is needed before the EPA can regulate carbon dioxide and five other greenhouse gases released from power plants, factories and automobiles under the federal Clean Air Act." While I agree with the findings, the timing and politics of this are questionable - an easy target for climate change conspiracy theorists.
