“The agency would be dialed back to focus strictly on “genuine pollutants” that pose immediate harm to public health, and not carbon pollution blamed for causing manmade global warming.”

There is no direct scientific correlation between manmade emissions of carbon dioxide and world wide temperatures either up or down. Emissions of fine particulate such as soot and volcanic ash on the other hand which make it to the upper atmosphere such as from volcanoes have been known to cause world wide cooling.

Carbon dioxide is not a pollutant. It is a beneficial trace gas necessary for all life on the planet. Historically, rising worldwide temperatures lead the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere by a hundred years or so. When the temperature of the oceans rise they release vast amounts of dissolved CO2.

The temperature of the earth has been rising at a cyclic, but more or less steady rate since the end of the coldest period of the “little ice age” which corresponded with the end of the Maunder Minimum in Solar Activity in 1715. This is well documented.

Please don't confuse us with facts. The World is dying, it has been since the early 1970's. Just ask Newsweak or Time magazine. I stocked up on blankets for the coming Ice Age they and others promoted.

I've asked many times on this and other forums...has ANYONE seen an area that has experienced a rise in waters? Not counting sinking land areas.

It's time to give Al Gore his just due for NONE of his predictions coming true.

I’ve been saying for a long time that CO2 is not a pollutant, and that more CO2 at current concentrations just is a plant growth stimulant. If you’re against that, why do you hate the poor? Since higher CO2 leads to cheaper food, and the poor spend high percentages of their income on food.

If you told the guys who passed the enabling legislation for the EPA that ~45 years later it would be used to regulate CO2, most if not all would be aghast.

OK!! Everybody pay attention!

Lesson for today:

1. The sun is 1,300,000 times as big as the earth.

2. The sun is a giant nuclear furnace that controls the climates of all its planets.

3. The earth is one of the sun’s planets.

4. The earth is a speck in comparison to the size of the sun.

5. Inhabitants of the earth are less than specks.

Study Question: How do less-than-specks in congress plan to control the sun?
