...That would be an unnecessarily enormous amount of intrusive government regulation if it weren’t for the increasingly obvious evidence that humans are causing global warming. Levine’s bill was overshadowed by the near simultaneous release of this year’s UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report, a massive review of research by over 2,000 leading climate scientists worldwide.
