global warming in the United States and worldwide. 
(10) A failure by any Federal agency to comply 
with the provisions of this title requiring reductions 
in its greenhouse gas emissions would exacerbate the 
pace, extent, and risks of global warming, causing 
harms beyond what would otherwise occur. The in-
cremental emissions from a Federal agency’s failure

incremental exacerbation of the adverse effects and 
risks of global warming. Although the emissions in-

failure allowing incrementally greater emissions 
would injure all United States citizens.
