1) “in 2009, the EPA decided it would treat greenhouse gases like other pollutants, despite their damage being global rather than local.”
No, the Bush-era EPA decided *not* to regulate greenhouse gases, was sued, and lost in the Supreme Court.

Whatever the EPA tries to do this week, understand that a) it will still be challenged in court (probably successfully - though it might take a while); b) EPA is not doing much in any case; and c) most of the action in the US is at the state and local level.
