“If CO2 is a dangerous pollutant, then the government can stop us humans from polluting by stopping us from breathing. IOW, the power of government shall be without limit.”

An unerring train of thought which is impossible to fault but will be disregarded by many. The EPA has actually claimed authority to determine a maximum lifespan for Americans, to determine who may have children and how many, to end the use of power lawnmowers, to limit or end the keeping of pets, the list goes on forever but people will try to act as though it is no big deal.
***About 20 years ago, those industries were forced to install flue gas desulphurization equipment on their dime.***
Actually it is older than 20 years ago. back about 1969 and 1970 there was lots of advertising against scrubbers in the major magazines (LIFE, LOOK). They failed.
Scrubbers are good for high sulfur eastern coal so most new plants after that time started using extremely low sulfer western coal and precipitators to remove 99.9% of the ash.
Now, plants designed for low sulfer coal are having to retrofit with scrubbers to remove that last smidgen of sulfer to please the environmentalists. Now the enviros have found new enemies to battle in low sulfer coal power. Mercury. Radiation. nitrous oxide and (gasp) lead!
Unfortunately this is what usually happens....
Class Action Lawsuit against the EPA . Invite ALL Americans to join the suit.
I took chem in college..I actually found more students having trouble with general chem than organic chem. Go figure.
So the antidote to CO2 poisoning is lead poisoning. sarc/
Americans are not going to take much more...
Is there no one in gubmint that has noticed the sales numbers of firearms and ammunition since ACORN committed massive election fraud?
The founding fathers warned us.
WINK, WINK
The American public will not tolerate having their toilet paper and booze taken away...
Could be, seeing that the UN’s crack scientists can’t tell the difference between 2350 and 2035.
All I know is I had to tell the plants in my herb garden not to worry. It can’t stand up to scutiny. I exhaled on each of them several times.
Not a bad idea.
