"The Obama administration proposed guidelines that require agencies to consider climate change in reviewing of government actions, the latest of a string of environmental directives after Democrats lost control of Congress.
The Council on Environmental Quality in the White House issued the long-delayed plan for treating greenhouse-gas emissions today. It won’t exempt any individual project on the ground it won’t change overall trends of climate change.
“Diverse individual sources of emissions each make relatively small additions to global atmospheric GHG concentrations that collectively have huge impact,” according to the council’s guidance."
