GOP Seeks to Block GHG Regulation Funding · Environmental Management & Energy News · Environmental Leader
House Republicans on Friday continued an assault on the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), introducing spending legislation that would prohibit the agency from regulating carbon dioxide emissions.
The continuing resolution (CR) would also cut funding for energy and climate research, ClimateWire reports for the New York Times.
The CR would fund government operations through September 30. It seeks to slash $100 billion from the fiscal 2011 budget that President Obama proposed last year.
The latest revisions to the CR have vastly increased proposed spending cuts from the $32 billion originally proposed by House appropriations committee chairman Hal Rogers (R-Ky, pictured).
What the hell is wrong with these people?
