EPA Declares CO2 A Public Danger
businessinsider.com ^ | 03/23/09 | Jay Yarow

Posted on 03/24/2009 5:31:29 AM PDT by Abathar

The EPA has officially declared that CO2 is endangering the public's health and welfare. This means that there will be new pressure on businesses to cut their emissions.

It also sets the stage for cap and trade legislation:

WSJ: A finding that CO2 is a threat to public health and welfare also would ratchet up pressure on Congress to enact a system that caps greenhouse gases and creates a market for businesses to buy and sell the right to emit them, as President Barack Obama has proposed.

Beer and Coca cola and all soft drinks must be outlawed.

CO2 is PLANT FOOD.

Funny thing, that: there being more plant food available, we actually have more plants! Word is the total size of forests is significantly larger now than in a long time. More CO2, more plants. That’s a _good_ thing, right?

Funny that the ones running around crying for “change” are precisely the ones who freak out when it actually happens. Climates change - cope.

Does this mean that we will need to stop exhaling after we inhale oxygen or 02? And do we need to kill plants because they take in C02? The lunatic fringe has taken over.

I call an immediate end to exercise, cheering crowds, wind instruments, and excessive talking (Including political speeches and “thespianism”).

All activities by greedy, egotistical, self-seeking human beings promote an unnecessary amount of CO2 in the air which leads to destroying our fragile earth mother-god (And futhers more central control which is good because those elite politicians and ivory tower "gods" know better than anyone else).

But we were told we have to keep “science” out politics - but only when the morality protects lives.

When the lies and exaggerations further a liberal socialist’s goal, then politics MUST prevail! Under The Zero, we “knew” thus was coming. There never was any doubt.

"Beer and Coca cola and all soft drinks must be outlawed."

The dims want to take away our guns and 2nd amendment rights, take away talk radio and our 1st amendment rights, take away medical benefits from those who were willing to fight and die for our country, our retired military, and make them pay for wounds they received while serving our country and now they would more or less have to outlaw beer and soda due to the CO2 content.

So exactly who is the party of "No"???

Michelle Bachmann[R} alluded to such the other day, and so did a Democrat Congressman...

Bachmann said, “I want people to be armed and dangerous when it comes to energy [policies]”. She stated that she felt it was of the utmost importance and that it was necessary to protect America's Freedom.
Bachmann urges “armed revolt” over climate change
[ http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2212985/posts ]

A Democrat Congressman yesterday said they will use “whatever means necessary” to reinstate the off-shore drilling ban and make it permanent.
““One way or the other, it will be reinstated,” said Inslee. “One way or the other, by any means necessary.
We are off the Pacific coast, and there would be a civil war,” said Inslee. “There would be something like a secessionist movement if there was a serious attempt to [permanently] remove the moratorium.”

Then we also have an Obama organizer who stated the following, “We're not looking for a fight. THAT WILL COME WHEN WE HAVE AN ARMY”.
[ http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2212285/posts ]

The army Obama's organizer mentioned above -- almost the law now... They passed the "Service Act/Give Act" through the Senate last night, so Obama's dream of a Civilian Police Force is a reality, folks.

The NCCC will house young people on campuses, give them uniforms, and they will be at the beck and call of the Federal Government to respond to natural & "OTHER" disasters, as well as to WORK on infrastructure projects. They are estimating something like 7 million people working for various parts of this plan (not sure how many in the NCCC itself).

Please be aware that Obama said throughout his campaign that he wanted this Civilian Security Force to be as WELL-FUNDED, WELL-EQUIPPED, & as WELL-TRAINED AS OUR MILITARY!

It's not paranoia when they're out to get you. I would urge all of my fellow FReepers to keep your eyes open, and be alert for any odd behavior. Between the terrorists, and the Obama sychopants we're going to have our hands full...

Now as far as the article itself? How can they declare Carbon DIOXIDE dangerous? We exhale it every few seconds! They are just using this Gorebull Warming BS as an excuse to grab more power. So sad that so many people are buying the propaganda hook, line, and sinker...

It never ceases to amaze me that these Democrats (the majority of whom are behaving like useful idiots) complained so much over the last 8 years that they couldn't trust Bush and his administration. Now, they figure they'll hand over the keys to the hen house, and give even MORE power to Obama? These people are CRAZY and/or evil. (The idiots are crazy, the ones in charge, and leading us down the path of COMMUNISM are EVIL!)

No wait, there's a danger even greater than CO2 lurking out there: di-hydrogen monoxide.

So forget CO2, we simply must address the di-hydrogen monoxide issue first. I think it should be severely regulated in use and emission... :-/

For those who don't get the joke, di-hydrogen monoxide is water.

The ecofascists can always eliminate CO2 output by eliminating humans.

Since we’re all exhaling “pollution.” Less people, less “pollution.”

That has ALWAYS been their goal(Marxist/Leninist/Maoist).

They will use starvation as an instument of population control.

Examples include:
1) Ukraine
2) Cambodia
3) Zimbabwe
4) China
5) N Korea

We are being warned by the ecofacist that they will do whatever means necessary to achieve this goal.
