The news came on the opening day of the United Nations Climate Conference in Copenhagen, and could accelerate Congressional action on climate legislation.  Sen. John Kerry (D-MA), a leading proponent of a Senate climate bill, issued a statement after the EPA's announcement saying, "The message to Congress is crystal clear: Get moving."
