From PilotOnline.com:
Virginia’s attorney general said Tuesday that the state will be the first in the nation to contest a key finding by the Obama administration that carbon dioxide is a danger to public health and contributes to global warming.
In a statement, Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli said he has filed petitions with the Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Court of Appeals in Washington in hope of reversing the finding.
Cuccinelli’s announcement indicates that Virginia, under Republican leadership, will take a much different line on climate change from the administration of former Gov. Timothy M. Kaine, a Democrat.
