Tough new rules proposed by the Environmental Protection Agency restricting greenhouse gas emissions will "slow construction nationwide for years" – but will only reduce global temperatures 0.0015 (15 ten-thousandths) of a degree Celsius in the next century. The findings were contained in a June 3 statement from the EPA, but made public last week in a report released by Republican members of the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee. The GOP minority report, issued last Wednesday, said a series of proposed and partially implemented new regulations on industrial boilers, greenhouse gas emitters, and ozone levels will put over 800,000 jobs at risk with little environmental benefit.
