By definition there can be no common sense regulating CO2 since there is no need to regulate a gas comprising 3/100 of 1% of the atmosphere, and which has NO DEMONSTRABLE effect on ANYTHING to do with our climate during this time period.

Aside from that, sure, regulate the hell out of it.

Regulating CO2 by definition is not “common sense”.

I predict lawsuits will try to block the EPA, but since the SCOTUS has already ruled that CO2 is bad, it would have to overrule itself to restore “common sense.”

“she will take commonsense steps to regulate carbon emissions to protect the health of Americans”

...F$%^ You lady! The only common sense approach Americans need to take is to vote out idiots like you! I’m sick and tired of these bureaucratic imbeciles making this fake attempt to “calm us down”. Yeah, she’s the voice of reason alright. She can be the “voice of reason” by herself pushing a grocery cart full of her belongings!

Great! Let's start by shutting down the most CO2 producing place on the continent.

Washington, D.C.!

“”Aside from that, sure, regulate the hell out of it.””

Isn’t this what we went through in the ‘80’s - ban hair spray, freon for air conditioners?

If the House of Representatives would lose 60 Democrat seats next year, the House could defund the EPA. Just because Nixon was a dope from CA who initiated this boondoggle on the nation doesn’t mean we have to keep it going until Jesus returns.

scratch the cover off “Lisa Jackson” and you will find another affirmative action ideologue who is too vain and stupid to resist being manipulated as part of a bigger agenda.

obama is surrounded by these types, we still don’t know who is REALLY running this agenda for America because the collective stupid, from the WH on down, sure isn’t

Whenever a leftist says the words, “Common sense,” simply change the first word to, “Communist,” and it all becomes clear.

Yes, of course. Lisa Jackson. The one with the "cute" hair style.
