Republicans Slam EPA Ruling

Thank Heaven for the EPA, and thank Heaven for President Obama. He appointed an EPA that will act like a tough cop rather than a lap dog for the pollution industry.
Senators who got a D in high school chemistry are in no position to argue with an overwhelming majority of scientists. Global warming is real.
As far as hurting the economy, that too is garbage. Green technology is an emerging multi-trillion dollar industry. The Chinese, who happen to be among the world’s biggest polluters, are already ahead of us in developing solar and wind technology. I should know, since I have invested in a Chinese solar energy company, and the return on my investment is very nice. The Chinese are joined by the Europeans, the Japanese, and even Abu Dhabi, an oil shiekdom, which is investing heavily in solar energy. We’re more than unusually stupid if we don’t latch on.
Greenhouse gases are a major health problem. Since I am a retired teacher from an inner city school, I should know. Asthma was endemic in the school where I taught. And we all wind up paying for asthmatic children and young adults. Republicans are always complaining about the costs of a public option – BUT they are too ignorant, hateful, and short-sighted to understand some of the underlying reasons for our astronomical health care costs.
Again, the GOP is so obsessed by their hatred for President Obama that they are perfectly willing to destroy the country. The GOP is our domestic version of the Taliban. As such, they are not fit to govern.

Wouldn’t it be more headline-worthy if Republicans actually did something to protect the environment, approved of steps taken to protect a species or spoke out against a pollution-causing industry? Who am I kidding? Anything that gets between them and a profit has got to go.

Congress needs to place some controlls on the epa before they get a chance to start making laws, they should only be able to recomend to congress and let congress do what we elected them for.

William Joseph Miller, you say, Republicans are too ignorant, hateful, and short-sighted to understand some of the underlying reasons for our astronomical health care costs. —- My, that’s a kind assessment. Are you aware that Doctors are being reimbursed presently at 80% of their COST on medicare patients from the Government? Anyone with intelligence could figure that would lead to higher prices for everyone else. Are you aware that fraud in Medicare (a government run system) is many times higher than in any private company? Are you aware that Medicare is 35 Trillion dollars in the hole? How do you think another government entitlement program is going to help? You seem to be a repsentative product of someone from the educational system……scary!
It’s is nice that you are profiting from political global scare tactics! Keep up the encouraging comments.

EPA stands for Environmental Protection Agency. The EPA did not work while Bush was in office because they were not allowed to and because obstructionist appointees were put into the top positions there. Now the Agency will protect us and I also am very thankful to the Lord because when republicans are in control it is not for the well being of the country, it is for the wealth and prosperity of the polluters.

Heaven has nothing to do with the political decisions of the EPA. How about a little scientific perspective next time!

Bush and Obama both report to the same Global Cartel… has nothing to do with petty politics. This is all about control over the American population including small businesses.

Perhaps someone can explain to me where the EPA gets its constitutional authority to declare a gas we all exhale a threat to public health.
Seriously, just stop and think about that for a second.

The scientists studying global warming are not hoaxing the data. They are attempting to reconcile two different data sets. There were no climate monitoring stations prior to 1960. Therefore scientists have to rely on tree ring analysis to attempt a best guess at what the temperature was in the thousands of years prior to 1960. Then in 1960, as the number of temperature monitoring stations increased, scientists had a more accurate set of data. The ‘tricks’ the skeptics are trying to portray as sinister are simply attempts to reconcile the less accurate tree ring data with the more accurate climate monitoring temperature data. That’s it, period. There’s nothing sinister behind it. The climate skeptics are a bunch of paid oil and gas lobbyists, and none of them are scientists.

The EPA ruling on c02 is just in time for Obama’s trip to Copenhagen so he can sell out the US. The real goal of Obama and his multi national corporate buddies who are behind the global warming scam is not so much about sharing our 1st world status with developing nations, it is about turning the USA into a third world country.
If we continue down this road, we will all be “legalized slaves” to the multi-national corporations.”

The corporate monsters who have funded a group to support the Al Gore Cap and Trade scam, the US Climate Action Partnership has these members leading the way;
Alcoa, Conoco Phillips, Dow Chemicals, Duke Energy, Dupont, PG&E, Shell.
Wow! All members of the Corporate Crimes Hall of Fame.

Why would an ice (glacier?) covered island would be named Greenland? Could it be that when Eric the red discovered (and named) Greenland (~985 ad, he settled it and grew crops. Some years later it got cold. Look at second graph, the second red dot from the right to see ice core sampled temperatures:

mary…I agree with you. I would also add George Soros to the fake liberal list. I read he had invested billions…probably the billions he made off our stock market crash…in green industry. I knew the Dems would deliver something big to him. This is all so shameful. The Enron guy came up with the carbon credit scam, btw. Such hypocrisy. Rich Libs can still live large as long as they pay off extortionist Al Gore.

Those who do not choose to admit the problems, and address the environment, have their heads in the sand, no matter what political party they belong to.
