This seems tautological? Surely the proposal here is a change to said standards to increase their utility?
- jjk166 3y agoHow is it tautological? Anthropomorphic climate change is driven by the global emission of greenhouse gasses that have very little direct effect on air quality. These standards are for regulating local emissions of substances that negatively impact local air quality.
