EPA: U.S. greenhouse emissions rose 1.4 percent in 2007



U.S. greenhouse gas emissions rose 1.4 percent in 2007, compared to the previous year, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency reported on Wednesday. The report also indicates that U.S. emissions of climate-warming gases such as carbon dioxide and methane rose 17.2 percent from 1990 to 2007. The increase in 2007 was mainly due to a rise in carbon dioxide emissions related to fuel and energy consumption, the environmental agency said in a statement.

Shit.
