                               RESOLUTION


 
  Urging the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency to 
reevaluate the endangerment and cause or contribute findings regarding 
              greenhouse gases signed on December 7, 2009.

Whereas the Environmental Protection Agency found that 6 naturally occurring 
        gases contained in Earth's atmosphere, including carbon dioxide and 
        methane, threaten the public health and welfare;
Whereas the Environmental Protection Agency, under the banner of clean air laws 
        originally drafted over 30 years ago, stretching its authority by using 
        such laws as a scare tactic, found that action must be taken to reduce 
        greenhouse gas emissions; and
Whereas the impacts of climate change and proposed resolutions, tainted by the 
        recent uncovering of climategate, are not universally accepted: Now, 
        therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
            (1) finds the endangerment and cause or contribute findings 
        for greenhouse gases signed by the Administrator of the 
        Environmental Protection Agency, under the pretense of the 
        Supreme Court decision in Massachusetts v. EPA (549 U.S. 497 
        (2007)), unacceptable;
            (2) disapproves of the actions of the Administrator of the 
        Environmental Protection Agency in casting aside the 
        legislative process and signing such controversial and 
        potentially unfounded endangerment and cause or contribute 
        findings; and
            (3) urges the Administrator of the Environmental Protection 
        Agency to reevaluate the endangerment and cause or contribute 
        findings signed on December 7, 2009.
                                 <all>
