Industry officials warn 7.3million American jobs will disappear if U.S. President Barack Obama's administration tightens regulations in a bid to reduce smog.

The industry-sponsored researcher who came up with the number cautioned, however, that there was uncertainty surrounding that number.

Although economist Don Norman pointed out: 'Even if the numbers are half of that, the number is huge.'

Obama needs to stop the rise of the oceans, and allow the planet to begin to heal.

Nancy Pelosi said she has a planet to save. But she didn’t say which planet.

The zeal for global warming overrides everything else to these liberals. They don’t care about the job losses and economic disruption. To them, saving a planet is all that matters.

All without realizing that the planet will take good care of itself, not humans. I would be more worried about humanity, not the planet.

Tell me... what are the “”””G20””” doing about it? They have zero legislation in place nor do they want it~ it will hamper their growth.

Why is it that the ratbastards think only America should pay?

Its just more from obama on strangling America. Strangulation in every area you look.. food production, cost of living, energy, taxes and financial, destruction of the military... on and on.

When will America get a American president?

At first, I was going to say, that will cut down on smog, but then I thought it through and realized that to stay warm or to cook, all those unemployed would likely start burning everything they could get. There wouldn’t be any clean coal, if we can’t afford it. We will look like dirty, dingy China.

Also, look for the wildlife populations to be destroyed as people go out to find food for themselves and their families.

The leftist pawns are short sited idiots. The leftist manipulators are pure evil.

***President Barack Obama’s administration tightens regulations in a bid to reduce smog.****

SMOG? I thought smog was whipped thirty five years ago when power plants were forced to put “scrubbers” on their units and US auto makers switched over from leaded gas to no lead gas!

Or is the Obama admin just looking for things to regulate!
