(CNSNews.com) – Tough new rules proposed by the Environmental Protection Agency restricting greenhouse gas emissions would reduce the global mean temperature by only 0.006 to 0.0015 of a degree Celsius by the year 2100, according to the EPA's analysis.

As a side effect, these rules would “slow construction nationwide for years,â€

EPA is looking at replacing the current standard of 150 micrograms per cubic meter with a standard of between 65 and 85 micrograms per cubic meter - essentially cutting in half the amount of particulate matter allowed in the air.

Members of Oklahoma’s congressional delegation believe this would be especially devastating in farming areas. Last week Sen. Jim Inhofe, R-Tulsa, and Rep. Frank Lucas, R-Cheyenne, called the proposals job killers.
