Big news on climate:

Joe -- Big news for all of us who care about fighting climate change: The first part of President Obama's climate plan is going into effect: The EPA proposed its first-ever limits on carbon pollution for new power plants. This is exactly what President Obama meant when he told Congress in the State of the Union that if they didn't act to fight climate change, he would. His climate action plan will cut carbon pollution, prepare the country for the impacts of climate change, and put America's best and brightest to work fighting it. But let's be clear -- there are a lot of deep-pocketed interests on the other side who are going to fight these changes tooth and nail, and they have plenty of climate change denier friends in Congress to back them up. Stand up and say you support the EPA's plan to limit carbon pollution from coal-fired power plants. This week's news is only the first step the EPA is taking to cut carbon pollution -- they're already hard at work and plan to extend these limits to existing power plants next year. Here's why this is a big deal: Power plants account for 40 percent of the carbon pollution in the United States. The government currently protects public health with limits on arsenic, lead, soot, and other pollutants from power plants -- but, until today, that didn't include carbon pollution. I'm pretty proud that President Obama took the lead on changing that. We know climate change is real, manmade, and dangerous -- and we know 97 percent of scientists agree. That's why OFA is keeping the pressure on Congress until they take action.
