To the Editor:

    When the Clean Air Act was enacted in 1970, it became the law of the land. From that moment forward, it is for the Executive to protect the American people from airborne pollutants. Unless congress were to repeal the Clean Air Act--and overcome a presidential veto of that repeal--neither Congress nor the Coal lobby have anything  further to say on the matter. It is for our Executive--through the EPA and the DoJ--to protect us from carbon dioxide and methane, both of which are important pollutants.
