Biden EPA Urged to Set Climate Pollution Cap
Push Follows Renewed EPA Consideration of National Greenhouse Gas Limit
WASHINGTON The Center for Biological Diversity and 350.org urged the Environmental Protection Agency today to set a nationwide greenhouse gas pollution cap under the Clean Air Act.
Last month the EPA reopened consideration of the measure when it withdrew the Trump administration’s denial of a petition by the two groups, noting that “the agency did not fully and fairly assess the issues raised by the petition.”
In today’s letter, the groups say the urgency of the climate crisis has only grown since they petitioned the agency in 2009 to use its full powers under the Clean Air Act to list greenhouse gases as “criteria pollutants” and set a nationwide emissions cap in the form of a National Ambient Air Quality Standard.

Due to the efforts of both the NCGA and member gins, work continued during ginning season with only a few reported COVID-19 cases. NCGA shifted to virtual meetings and disseminated COVID-19 information to member gins.

It’s not a stretch to say that 2020 will go down in history as a year like no other and in response to the challenges, National Cotton Ginners Association (NCGA), as well as other gin associations, shifted to virtual meetings and disseminated COVID-19 information to member gins.
Due to the efforts of both the NCGA and member gins, work has continued with only a few reported COVID-19 cases. This lack of gin-borne outbreaks is testimony to the work done by the associations and by our ginners in the implementation of policies, as outlined in the Centers for Disease Control guidance.

By Duggan Flanakin Biden-Harris Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Michael Regan is clearly on a mission. He has “
bold aspirations, and a long to-do list,” says The Washington Post. But to succeed, the Post acknowledges, he must “help the EPA get its groove back.” As Reagan put it, “We’ve got a lot of work to do, starting with rebuilding staff morale and getting all our staff back to feeling as if they matter,
their voices matter.” Regan says his job is “to restore the scientific integrity and the utilization of data, of facts, as we move forward, and make some very important decisions.” His second goal is to increase “cooperation” between the EPA and its “subordinate” state environmental agencies. EPA will dictate; states will fall in line.
