As the case may be.

Let’s not give these morons any ideas!

The EPA was actually REQUIRED by the Supreme Court to “consider” whether CO2 was a pollutant.

What does going through the courts have to do with it? Government bodies like the EPA, FDA, DEA, and so forth routinely declare this or that material, foodstuff, substance, or so on to be dangerous and issue regulations. Moreover, they conduct inspections, raids, confiscate property and livestock, etc. They don’t have to prove their findings in a court of law or have a judge uphold each regulation they put forth, although citizens placed under duress by these agencies may be able to have a day in court after the fact.

Better to spin these federal agencies down to a very narrow and limited set of functions that do not include the ability to harass American citizens and businesses, or do away with them altogether. The opportunity for me to seek justice by bringing a lawsuit against an entity I allege is polluting my private property or otherwise damaging my legitimate interests would remain in the absence of these agencies.

BTW,

how in the world can a government agency who’s head is not elected by the people, be able to just say that something is now a pollutant?

The EPA answers to the executive branch, I think. At minimum I know the president appoints the agency director, so that would be the indirect connection point with the electorate.

The O is an FDR wannabee…

This NEW O’DEAL STINKS!

SCOTUS was not created to evaluate the Constitution, but to prevent pervertion of it.

Time for a full RESET of the FERAL (sp!) Government!

No offence to little girls.

This is from the AP in Washington, D.C.,

VERY QUIETLY OBAMA’S CITIZENSHIP CASE REACHES SUPREME COURT
AP- WASHINGTON D.C. – In a move certain to fuel the debate over Obama’s qualifications for the presidency, the group “Americans for Freedom of Information” has Released copies of President Obama’s college transcripts from Occidental College .. Released today, the transcript indicates that Obama, under the name Barry Soetoro, received financial aid as a foreign student from Indonesia as an undergraduate at the school. The transcript was released by Occidental College in compliance with a court order.
The transcript shows that Obama (Soetoro) applied for financial aid and was awarded a fellowship for foreign students from the Fulbright Foundation Scholarship program. To qualify, for the scholarship, a student must
claim foreign citizenship. This document would seem to provide the smoking gun that many of Obama’s detractors have been seeking. Along with the evidence that he was first born in Kenya and there is no record of him ever applying for US citizenship, this is looking pretty grim. The news has created a firestorm at the White House as the release casts increasing doubt about Obama’s legitimacy and qualification to serve as president.
When reached for comment in London , where he has been in meetings with British Prime Minister Gordon Brown, Obama smiled but refused comment on the issue.
Under growing pressure from several groups, Justice Antonin Scalia announced that the Supreme Court agreed on Tuesday to hear arguments concerning Obama’s legal eligibility to serve as President in a case brought by Leo Donofrio of New Jersey . This lawsuit claims Obama’s dual citizenship disqualified him from serving as president. Donofrio’s case is just one of 18 suits brought by citizens demanding proof of Obama’s citizenship or qualification to serve as president.
Gary Kreep of the United States Justice Foundation has released the results of their investigation of Obama’s campaign spending. This study estimates that Obama has spent upwards of $950,000 in campaign funds in the past year with eleven law firms in 12 states for legal resources to block disclosure of any of his personal records. Mr. Kreep indicated that the investigation is still ongoing but that the final report will be provided to the U.S. attorney general.

Possibly this will help!!!

The law can make it up as it goes (so to speak); it doesn’t have to follow science. I speak from experience, having worked on both sides of the fence in the environmental field in the late ’80s and early ’90s. Expert witnesses can be found that will espouse both sides of anything as accepted and valid science.

The law and science have very little in common…

To strip EPA with the power to regulate CO2 unless it comes with draconian regulations of Congress’s own design. I don’t see the votes in 2010, 2012, or any other year. And I certainly don’t see EPA undoing the regulations on their own, under any administration. The EPA is full of radical socialists under Republicans as well as under Democrats.

Yeah, I don’t have that much land, but I do think I would have to practice some civil disobidience and cut the smart grid things off of my house to protect my liberty.

to make my house functional for a longer period so I can go off-grid. We’d have to change our lifestyle somewhat, but we could do it as long as we could get propane and fuel oil. Like most people in Alaska, I have a generator that will get me through a few days for power outages, but I want one that will run everything in the house except maybe the electric clothes dryer.

and board of a non-profit will take more money out of the organization than the proprietor and managers of a for profit that handles the same revenue.

In plants, algae and cyanobacteria photosynthesis uses carbon dioxide and water, releasing oxygen as a waste product.

I’m pretty sure killing all plants isn’t going to produce the effect you’re expecting.

Plants and trees take in CO2 and put out oxygen. That’s why it is beneficial to “talk” to your houseplants when you’re watering them. Remember the terrarium fad from several years ago? If you had a healthy terrarium with a cover, you had to lift the cover periodically and breathe into it. Without doing that, all the plants in there would die.
I’ve been wondering. If all the efforts to reduce CO2 in the atmosphere are successful, will one of the “unintended consequences” be the demise of the forests? Maybe there’s enough decomposition going on there to provide enough CO2. But, what about trees in our yards and city parks?

It’s called the cow fart stopper. Corks that come in all sizes for cow butts, with a string attached in case they blow out.

But, unfortunately, it won’t be….
