7:12Now PlayingNew environmental regulations unveiled this week are being described as the U.S. government's most sweeping effort to date in curbing the emissions that cause global warming. The Environmental Protection Agency is seeking a 30percent reduction of carbon emissions from 2005 levels at coalfired power plants by the year 2030. But many environmentalists are urging the United States to take greater action on cutting greenhouse gas emissions. The Guardian reports some of the most coalheavy states, including West Virginia, Kentucky and Ohio, will be allowed to maintain, or even increase, their emissions under the EPA plan. Meanwhile, the European Union said the United States must "do even more" to help keep global temperatures from rising more than 2 degrees Celsius. We are joined by Janet Redman, director of the Climate Policy Program at the Institute for Policy Studies.
