Why hasn't Gina McCarthy been impeached for what she did to the Animas River?

You’re not supposed to burn any coal or oil. You should probably avoid natural gas too, since it’s composed of hydrocarbons. Don’t drive your car unless it’s one of those battery powered ones that hasn’t caught fire yet. Get rid of those incandescent light bulbs all over your house. Clean all the steak and ground beef out of your fridge because cows are too flatulent. Have you checked all of these off your list? Good. Then you are finally doing your part and helping to end global warming.
Oh, we forgot one more thing… we’re going to need to confiscate your air conditioning. (Daily Caller)
EPA Chief Gina McCarthy wants the world to stop using hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) in air conditioners and other consumers products as part of President Barack Obama’s plan to fight global warming.
McCarthy is so determined to make this happen, she’s taking the lead role at an ongoing United Nations summit to expand the current global treaty covering ozone-depleting substances. The EPA chief hopes that her agency’s recent HFC regulations will convince other countries to join the U.S. in limiting the chemicals…
“Solutions are here, and it’s time to amend the Montreal Protocol to reflect that,†McCarthy wrote, adding that phasing out HFCs would avert 0.5 degrees Celsius of global warming by the end of the century.
Maybe it’s just me, but the same moment you’re telling everyone how much warmer it’s getting might not be the best time to take away their air conditioner. But leaving that aside for the moment, I’m not sure why McCarthy is invoking the Montreal Protocol here since it was put in place to protect the ozone layer. Hydrofluorocarbons don’t impact the ozone layer to my knowledge. There have been plans in the works for a while to replace these substances in air conditioning but you’re looking at moving to ammonia or dimethyl ether or one of a few other options. That’s not only an expensive switch, but the cooling efficiency goes down.
How do we deal with the issue of the moving targets being presented by the environmental warriors? I thought carbon dioxide was the big concern, even though the people going after power plants are looking at small ball goals when you consider that most of it is coming out of automobile exhausts. (Sadly for them, nobody supports you when you say you want to take away their cars.) And now it’s the coolant in our air conditioners. What’s next?
I’ve given up on trying to guess.
They have Spontaneous Combustion Engines..........................
Gina can go to Hell. I guarantee there are no air conditioners there.
I’ve already stock-piled some R-134a refrigerant.
I have lived without AC and got by but having had it the last 40 of my 50 yrs. sorry Gina, if you want to live like a damned cave women have at it, if you want me to we are going to have issues and come to blows.
I’ll sacrifice mine and drop it on her from 20 feet....
ACME brand would be fitting.
Why hasn't Gina McCarthy been impeached for what she did to the Animas River?
Sure lets be like Europe where tens of thousands die from lack of AC or her. Don’t forget the 100+ year mortgages and 300% mark up on all thing bought and sold.
I see this a lot. Are they planning on freeing all of the cattle across the country to just graze and roam free across the country like a wild animal?
She just lost Arizona

What would I do with my stockpile of R-12 (dichlorodifluoromethane)?
Florida is uninhabitable with A.C.
.... They need to get this stuff rammed through as quickly as possible so that they can credit their activism for turning Global Warming around and thus ...... saving the world.
So why isn’t she going after our refrigerators too? They all use the same CFC’s in their refrigeration systems. There aren’t going to be enough prisons to house all these people when and if we get on with the business of prosecuting all of them.
Good post.
She will have to pry it from my freon-covered hands.
A complete disaster. This will release massive amounts of carbon into the atmosphere when the ammonia decomposes into cyanide radicals and other nasty things that will poison children reinstate slavery and deny equality to LGBTQs. We cannot allow this!
(Of course it is patent nonsense, but is it any more so than the other AGW nonsense the EPA is slinging around?)
Live freon or die?
