Why this score Federal air-quality regulator and the primary source for its own rulemakings (New Source Review, minor-source permitting). Authoritative on the text, docket number and procedural posture of its own proposals; motivated on their framing and merits, so its characterizations are recorded as the agency's own claims rather than as neutral fact.

Models continue to show that GHG emissions from power plants have no material impact on global climate change. In fact, if all carbon dioxides were eliminated tomorrow, there would be no meaningful climate impact.

Unverified. The agency's own words in announcing its proposal. The proposal's modelling puts US power-plant CO₂ at 0.014°C of warming by 2050, about 2% of the projected rise, and 0.035°C by 2100 — its own figures, untested independently. Challengers dispute its reasoning in court; no court has ruled.
