Climate Change and Policy Directives

From the NOAA press release: "A new scientific study led by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration reaches a powerful conclusion about the climate change caused by future increases of carbon dioxide: to a large extent, there’s no going back."

The new climate change report authored by National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) staff has been published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. General information about the group's research is available on the Earth System Research Laboratory website.

The White House website provides information on the President's energy and environment policies. The site also includes the Presidential memos on fuel economy and the Clean Air Act.
