Intelligencer edits global warming out of today's front page AP report
Here's a section of today's front page Intelligencer article from the Associated Press on Republican efforts to "rein in" the EPA:
The rules are among a host of regulations that majority Republicans have targeted for repeal or delay as they confront President Barack Obama on a second-term priority: his environmental legacy, especially his efforts to reduce pollution.
WHAT HAS OBAMA PROPOSED?
Last June, Obama rolled out a plan to cut pollution from power plants by 30 percent by 2030. Once completed this summer, the rule will set the first national limits on carbon dioxide from existing power plants.
And here is the original AP report. (The parts missing from the Intelligencer version are in bold):
The rules are among a host of regulations that majority Republicans have targeted for repeal or delay as they confront President Barack Obama on a second-term priority: his environmental legacy, especially his efforts to reduce the pollution linked to global warming.
WHAT HAS OBAMA PROPOSED?
Last June, Obama rolled out a plan to cut earth-warming pollution from power plants by 30 percent by 2030, setting in motion one of the most significant U.S. actions ever to address global warming. Once completed this summer, the rule will set the first national limits on carbon dioxide from existing power plants, the largest source of greenhouse gases in the U.S.
We're about due for another "you the reader should be impressed with how objective, balanced and ethical we are" editorial from the Intelligencer. I can hardly wait.
