As a result, advocates of federal climate change programs must help elect a more environmentally friendly and climate-change-sensitive Congress.
Two former EPA administrators cast doubt on the agency's ability to pass any transformational climate program not enacted by Congress.Climate change is a planetary danger, with its effects of sea level rise, drought, storms, heat waves, melting glaciers and warming oceans. The principal cause is the emission of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide and methane. When these gases are emitted, they do not remain local but circulate all over the world.

Neither the U.S. House of Representatives nor the Senate could possess the expertise nor the available time to meet the goals inherent in these purposes. Accordingly, a consensus and understanding were reached in the early 1930s that federal regulatory formulation and enforcement would be implemented through a regulatory agency structure.
Under this structure, doctrine, and mandates, the federal regulatory sector over the past century, while not perfect, has become a model of efficiency and quality-of-life enhancement for the developed and developing world. Its performance in such areas as agriculture, pharmaceuticals, financial markets, securities regulation, labor safety, education and healthcare has definitely exceeded the expectations present at the time of the establishment of the relevant agencies.

And with limited financial resources and insufficient statutory tools, they are confronting the most dangerous environmental menace of our time, climate change.
