CA ACR143

Supports federal Senate Joint Resolution 26, a bipartisan effort to prevent the EPA from independently regulating carbon dioxide as a pollutant under the Clean Air Act

Opposes the EPA's April 17, 2009 endangerment finding that declared carbon dioxide and five other heat-trapping gases as pollutants threatening public health and welfare

Argues that EPA carbon dioxide regulations would create unnecessary federal bureaucracy, increase costs, reduce economic efficiency, and harm California's economy and job creation

Contends that regulation of carbon dioxide and greenhouse gases should be decided by Congress rather than the EPA, given ongoing scientific and legislative debate on the necessity of such regulation
