Which of the following is true of U.S.efforts to curb greenhouse gas emissions?

A) EPA required large emitters of greenhouse gases to report their annual emissions.
B) The House of Representatives established a cap and trade program-similar to the acid rain control program-for greenhouse gas emissions.
C) EPA is barred from taking any actions to deal with greenhouse gas emissions.

Greenhouse Gas Emissions

Greenhouse gas emissions are gases released into the atmosphere that trap heat, contributing to global warming and climate change.

Tailoring Rule

A principle in environmental law that allows for regulations to be adjusted or "tailored" to fit the specific circumstances of different sources or categories of sources, rather than applying a one-size-fits-all approach.

Cap and Trade

An environmental policy tool that limits or caps the total level of certain greenhouse gas emissions and allows industries with low emissions to sell their extra allowances to larger emitters.
