Bucking court, EPA won't control climate gases (Finally Calling Out The Global Warming Hoax)
MSNBC ^ | 7/11/2008 | MSNBC

Posted on 07/11/2008 11:50:26 AM PDT by tobyhill

WASHINGTON - The Bush administration on Friday rejected regulating greenhouse gases blamed for global warming, saying it would cause too many job losses.

In a 588-page federal notice, the Environmental Protection made no finding on whether global warming poses a threat to people's health, reversing an earlier conclusion at the insistence of the White House and officially kicking any decision on a solution to the next president and Congress.

The White House on Thursday rejected EPA's conclusion three weeks earlier that the 1970 Clean Air Act "can be both workable and effective for addressing global climate change." Instead, EPA said Friday that law is "ill-suited" for dealing with climate change.

I still don’t understand how people bash Bush on global warming. That is one issue where he has stood his ground and only given out a few peanuts. For the big issues, Bush has thumbed his nose at the liberals and MSM, and did the right thing.

The eco-terrorist/whacko leftist loons who are actually dumb enough to think we are going to allow them and their hired ‘RATs in government and the courts to ruin our economy, just don’t live in the REAL world.

The envirowackos do not care how many jobs are lost. I heard a stupid radio commercial just yesterday. The whining woman saying: “the earth is hurting. Can't you hear it calling for help? Can't you see it's dying? The earth is crying out for our help. We must SAVE the earth. We are destroying the earth.” A bunch of liberal mumbo jumbo, yet everyone is falling for this pile of dog crap.

“the Supreme Court ruled last year that the government has authority under the Clean Act to regulate greenhouse gases as a pollutant.”

At some point, the Executive and the Congress just need to tell the Court to butt out and mind their own business. The Supreme Court has no power to regulate anything.

You really do have to give it up for this Administration’s EPA. They’ve also stopped filing the frivolous wetlands suits based on ponds and lakes that have no connection to navigable waters. They’ve started enforcing the Clean Air Act and Clean Water Act as they were actually written, not as the bureaucrats and enviros have wished them to be. If Congress doesn’t like it, it needs to write some new laws. Fir too long, Congress has punted all this stuff to the bureaucrats and the courts so they don’t have to do any heavy lifting that might actually cost them votes back home.

Just because the Court ruled that the government CAN regulate greenhouse gass under the CAA, doesn’t mean it HAS to. The Court has no power to compel a federal agency to write new regulations based on an old law. Of course, that’s what the enviros who brough the lawsuit think it means, but they are wrong.

Who’s vetting the bureaucrats?

The latest study suggests that higher temperatures in Europe may be a result of less particulates in the air allowing more sunlight to warm the atmosphere. That is cleaner air equals higher temperatures.

I have always wondered how anyone falls for this myself. If the earth is dying and the only way to save it is to cease human activity, why would it be worth saving? I just don't get it? Do I want to change my behavior just so a bunch of Polar Bears can frolic in the arctic? Why would I care about their happiness over my own? To what end?

“Kieran Suckling, executive director of the Center for Biological Diversity,...”

If I had a name like that, I think I’d change it to Bob Suckling, or something much more mainstream.

We've got to insist - DEMAND - that liberals abide by the Heller decision. Just like they do with abortion laws.
