The US government is to regulate carbon dioxide emissions, having decided that it and five other greenhouse gases may endanger human health and well-being.
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced the move following a review of the scientific evidence.
The decision marks a major change from the Bush presidency, when the EPA argued it could not regulate CO2 because the gas was not a pollutant.
Developing countries have asked for the US to show leadership on climate.
Many are not prepared to curtail their own emissions without firm indications that the US is willing to make significant reductions.
Carbon-cutting legislation is being proposed in Congress, but the EPA decision - known as an "endangerment finding" - will allow the agency to mandate some cuts without waiting for the draft bills to become law.

Actually, I think that Adam and Eve did it too...but that is only IMHO.
....they don’t want us or any other living creature to breathe.
We can only hope they’ll lead by example and will be the first to go.
Imagine that we walk around every day and interact with fools and idiots who swallow this type of drivel Hook, Line and Sinker.
We the Sheeple? More like Them the Sheeple, we the Wolves.
Ignorant Sycophants who want to be led, not governed.
didn’t hitler have a plan to reduce CO2 ?
Excellent post. It needs wide distribution.
“didn’t hitler have a plan to reduce CO2 ?”
Yes - it was called “Less Jews Breathing.”
The good news here is that the voters who voted in this administration - the centrists - will get a good chance to look over the edge and into the abyss well before 2010. They will not make this voting mistake again. The dilemma Obama faces is that he needs to do as much as he can before 2010, but the faster he goes, the more extreme he lets his cohorts get, the more frightened intelligent voters become (with good reason).
If the Republicans don’t make massive seat gains in 2010, then maybe the party just deserves to fail.
My guess is the CO2 police will soon visit to snuff me out... can't have Trajan88 exhale, contributing to "global warming."
America... was nice knowing you for 43+ years... hope you come back again before I'm 6' under.
So Obama doesn’t want anybody to exhale?? I guess thats one way to reduce the population.
Obama may qualify for being the dumbest POTUS ever.
The sooner we get these “America Haters” out of Washington the better it’ll a be for You & Me... This is starting to scare me!
We all have to get together and sue the EPA to regulate the breath we exhale. That is what it will take to get this foolishness stop and spread the revolt to the rest of Americans.
Use their weapons against them.
Notice, when they do something they know is unpopular, Obama’s name is nowhere to be found.
Vicki McKenna**, WISN Radio Milwaukee 1130 am was talking about this issue this morning—she was really upset saying the control of carbon, carbon dioxide, and energy will basically control everyone—rick, poor, young, old.
Many Greens think there are too many humans populating the earth—very scary legislation!
**She does podcasts from internet, very good commentary!
Meanwhile, all the mammals on earth continue exhaling CO2, blithly ignoring the idiots in D.C. What are we going to do with all these Caribou farts that have been piling up?
This will DESTROY our economy. They have to know this. Maybe I need some tin foil, but I’m beginning to think they are out to intentionally destroy our country.
As bizarre as this sounds, it is hard to imagine an alternative to your hypothesis.
Every day i struggle with the eternal question are libs stupid or evil?
Today evil wins.
Many are not prepared to curtail their own emissions without firm indications that the US is willing to make significant reductions.
This f**king idiot and alGore can kiss my @$$. They both fly around the world with their entourages spewing tripe and carbon like the're on magic carpets. And Obama and Waxman will dare to tell me to park my truck!? Hey Barry!! What was the footprint of that pizza order that you and Babymamma flew in from St. Louis last week? F**king hypocrite.
Some of them might lead by example; some of them do a lot of crazy things to show their faith to the cause.
My take is that it will be the overweight first (after conservatives) because we know that they are already a health hazard and they already occupy too much space on the planet....and the left has started to demonize them already. Perhaps followed by smokers. Then, it will be older people and people with disabilities.
