You’re right! Photosynthesis releases CO2 to the air- causing global warming. Run away....!!

And Reagan rightly pointed out... that these plants and plankton take up C02 make oxygen from it.. The more C02 the more plant growth you have and the more... oxygen to sustain life.

Subject to methane release studies.... cows with ahole meters... seriously. It was done with our money.. that and belching.

Now for humans belching beer... we’ll have to see.

Hmmm. Hay is a pollutant. Pollutants must be lowered. Who eats hay? Cows, horses, goats, sheep, maybe others. Other than horses, what do the other animals have in common? They are, ahem, food, specifically meat earns by humans. Since the EPA is managed and populated by environmental radicals who by and large are vegan, what is the one thing ALL environmental radical vegans arrogantly believe? That's right. They think that vegan is better for the planet so if they can make the production and consumption of meat as food either outrageously expensive or components necessary to the production cycle illegal and whizz, bang, boom, meat is shunned in favor of vegetables and fruits. Now when your gut gets a huge dose of veggies and it produces flatulence, whizz, bang, boom, they will institute a methane reduction investment or as is more commonly called, a fart tax. Don't laugh. They figured out a way to tax part of the air we breathe in and all of the air we breathe out, so given enough time, those farts will figure out how to tax our farts.

We are seeing all the liberals go stark raving mad, they see the handwriting on the wall and know the jig is up for any of their socialiust agenda in 2012 and are pulling out all the stops.

Nobama is systematically pissin off everyone except holder’s people and the mafia unions and maybe even them when it gets right down to how the cow ate the cabbage.

Unless its Mutt with VP jonboy, we will probably see the worst rout in American politics in a little more than 13 months. Historic ya are nobama.

"antagonizing small to mid-sized family operations in an effort to help their packer-partners capture the entire live cattle supply chain away from family farm and ranch operations."

Petit bourgeois, the bane of the socialist.

Yup. Photosynthesis changes the energy from the sun into chemical energy, splits water, releasing O2, fixing CO2 into various plant sugars. Mixed it up with aerobic respiration— which was Reagan’s shocking accurate point to the tree-huggers— that plants release C02— there is a balance.

The whole carbon credit thing annoys hell out of me- as it should any carbon based life form!! Some other post here in the last few days focused on “natural burial” and recycling people— soylent green LOL.

The Tea Party should declare Ring Dings a pollutant and see how Fat Lisa Jackson likes that.

Lisa Jackson is obviously on a starvation diet, or she wouldn’t be so mean to farmers.

You can’t make this sh*t up.

If they keep poking us with that sharp stick, we’re going to turn around and bite them. This will not end well for them, and I do not confine my remarks to just the EPA.
