A.M. Greenlist: Is California special?
>> Cali isn't special, said the Environmental Protection Agency, which said its decision to block Cali's bid to set stricter car emissions standards is justified because global warming happens everywhere, not just Cali. "Critics also contend that California does, in fact, have uniquely worse problems from global warming compared with other states, including wildfire risks, air pollution and water supply shortages."
>> Cali is special, according to Senator Barbara Boxer, who's introduced legislation, S. 2555 to overrule the EPA
and let Cali set its own car emissions standards. Her website
encourages you to email other senators to ask them to cosponsor the
bill. (via Streetsblog LA)

>> Go veg. Those are the big letters PETA peeps want to put up next to the Hollywood sign. They are also belatedly going crazy in the comments to this post.
