Attack Of The Environmentalists

« Poor Horse Industry | Main | Annual Anti-BCS Rant »
The environmentalists got a huge win today in their quest to to take us back to the stone ages where everyone lives in mud huts. The EPA ruled that CO2 (and other "greenhouse gases") are a pollutant. Yes, a key component of air is a pollutant. Yes one of the key components that allows plants to thrive is now considered a pollutant.

Completely ridiculous! But the goal is clear.

The EPA signaled last April that it was inclined to view heat-trapping pollution as a threat to public health and welfare and began to take public comments under a formal rulemaking. The action marked a reversal from the Bush administration, which had refused before leaving office to issue the finding, despite a conclusion by EPA scientists that it was warranted.

Business groups have strongly argued against tackling global warming through the Clean Air Act, saying it is less flexible and more costly than the cap-and-trade bill being considered before Congress....

....the EPA has begun the early stages of developing permit requirements on carbon dioxide pollution from large emitters such as power plants. The administration also has said it will set the first-ever greenhouse gas emissions standards for automobiles and raise fuel economy to 35 miles per gallon by 2016 to reduce carbon dioxide emissions.  (emphasis added)

They are going to use the Clean Air Act to regulate and destroy the energy producers in this country. They have one goal. Rolling back capitalism and replacing it with statism. They have been trying to use environmentalism as the vehicle for some time and now they have won a great victory. They have turned air into a pollutant so they can regulate everything.

What infuriates me the most is that the it is all based upon a sham. Man made global warming is a myth. We are just now learning about how the University of East Anglia CRU has destroyed its raw data and manipulated numbers to make sure that temperatures were "constantly rising". They might not have been the only organization to do so either.

Fortunately, people are beginning to have their eyes opened to the scam. The latest polls show that only 45% of people believe in man made global warming and that number has been dropping. Hopefully, we can stop this dangerous trend towards eco-stalinism before our energy prices soar and economy is destroyed.
