EPA Hearing on Greenhouse Gases

I went down to Arlington VA on Monday (May 18) to give some testimony for the EPA, officially the “U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Public Hearing on the Proposed Endangerment and Cause or Contribute Findings for Greenhouse Gases under the Clean Air Act”. The time was limited to four minutes for each speaker. My contribution is attached as a pdf file. It is directed towards impacts to the US because the EPA is a US agency.

Although the talks I heard were mostly reasonable, I did hear one contrarian who ineffectively blustered away at the science with some of the usual irrelevant fallacies. For those interested in exploring the myriad fallacies pushed by contrarians, an excellent source is the website run by climate scientists, realclimate.org

The official transcript is under docket EPA-HQ-OAR-2009-0171 at http://www.regulations.gov/fdmspublic/component/main?main=DocumentDetail&o=09000064809d1901
