EPA May Soon Deem CO2 A Threat To Human Health
They are apparently going to go after all greenhouse gasses. I wonder if that includes water vapor, the #1 greenhouse gas?
Declaring that greenhouse gases are a significant threat to human health, the Environmental Protection Agency has proposed listing carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases as pollutants under the Clean Air Act, a policy the Bush administration rejected.
The White House acknowledged that the EPA had transmitted its proposed finding on global warming to the Office of Management and Budget, but provided no details.
It also cautioned that the Obama administration, which sees responding to climate change a top priority, nevertheless is ready to move cautiously when it comes to actually regulating greenhouse gases, preferring to have Congress act on the matter.
In other words, Obama plans to punt the issue (just like real leaders do. snark off) over to Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid, so they can take the blame when people’s power bills skyrocket, when everything they buy jumps in price, and when they are forced to pay for carbon offsets.
As a sidebar, MSNBC almost gets it right regarding how the Kyoto Protocol was handled by the US government, particularly Dubya.

We are not going to release Sen.Harry Reid(D-NV),House Speaker Nancy Pelosi(D-CA) from their responsibility to the American Worker. E-verify is not going– away, although they connived to dismiss it secretly from the Stimulus/Omnibus package, with 48 other Democrats.
They have shown their allegiance is– not–to THE PEOPLE of these United States, but to the US Chamber of Commerce, UCLA, subversive foreign entities and of course the 40 million illegal aliens calculated by the Heritage Foundation.
The 1986 Immigration Rule of Law is the law of our land and cannot be violated. The Simpson/Mazzoli bill that was passed by legislators has been abused, even though it was drafted on behalf of the US electorate.
E-Verify is a simple, accessible system that an identify illegal labor in the workplace. Businesses who ignore the computer friendly e-verify data base and hire foreign nationals, have no excuses in federal court. They are traitors to America and should be dealt with severely. E-Verify is funded till September and must be extended forever.
We are being–HEARD– in Washington, but we must not stop the roar of outrage. 202-224-3121 To locate your Senator http://www.senate.gov/ For your Congressman http://www.house.gov/ President Obama: Switchboard: 202-456-1414 Comments: 202-456-1111 FAX: 202-456-2461
Yes, and the Democrats are also considering “carbon tariffs” on imports from countries that don’t care enough about stopping global warming.
