Claimant: U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
Claim: “Models continue to show that GHG emissions from power plants have no material impact on global climate change.”
Rating: MISLEADING
Explanation: U.S. power plants are a major source of greenhouse gas emissions, accounting for roughly a quarter of U.S. emissions. Climate scientists said comparing emissions from one U.S. sector with total worldwide emissions makes their effect appear artificially small even though those emissions make a measurable contribution to global warming.
