There is NO controversy. There is resistance to the EPA adding it's weight to regulating GHG emissions, even though that is it's MANDATE. But denial and the power of the fossil fuel industry has made a 'tempest in a tea pot' about it.

Fact is that we NEED the EPA to prevent the abuses of the past (which we no longer have the excuse of 'ignorance' and 'common practice' about).

That CO2 cannot be a 'pollutant'? Wrong. Anything CAN and IS a pollutant in a specific context. In this case, as a greenhouse gas causing 'thermal pollution' of the planet.
