Carbon Fuel Burning = Climate Change.
Meat Eating = Meat Production = Increased Methane = Climate Change

It all works for them.

I dream of a Republican candidate who will promise to end these activist departments of the federal government. Not change their cultures but shut them down.

Maybe time to buy that hybrid gas/charcoal infrared grill at Sam's Club.

I use a propane grill and a smoker. What is the EPA gonna’ do...outlaw wood? They can go shove their regulations right up where Obama and the libtards do their thinking!

"Not change their cultures but shut them down."

This is the ONLY solution.

I do too. Perry was going to shut down three of them, but could only remember two.

Amen! I can never decide which should be shut down first. But eventually they all need to go.

A Speaker of the House who had some stones could handle this easily.

They would never outlaw wood... just burning it. California is already all over wood burning fireplaces. New wood burning fireplaces are banned (both in new homes, and in remodels), and they control what day existing owners can burn wood in their fireplace based on weather and air quality. I’m sure they will eventually target backyard BBQs and grills, but liberals prefer a slow creeping death, so you don’t see it coming.

There’s a BBQ place not far from where I live. A converted self car wash for drive through service for smoked ribs and briskets and such. Out back they have these huge smokers and a fenced in area with a ton of hickory in it. In the mornings as you drive by, the smell of smoking meat wafts out over the road.

Yum!
