WASHINGTON – Officials tell The Associated Press that the Environmental Protection Agency has concluded greenhouse gases are endangering people's health and must be regulated. The EPA will announced its findings at a news conference Monday. The announcement is timed to boost the Obama administration's arguments at an international climate conference — beginning this week — that the United States is taking actions to combat global warming, even though Congress has yet to act on climate legislation. Under a Supreme Court ruling, the so-called endangerment finding is needed before the EPA can regulate carbon dioxide and five other greenhouse gases released from power plants, factories and automobiles under the federal Clean Air Act.

and five other greenhouse gases

Very informative, AP, so how about names?

If this does come to pass, then the time has come to revolt. Seriously.

I was attacked by CO2 last night....

Then I walked down the road. A cow must have farted....It was terrible.

Then I visited the race track...The exhaust brought me to may knees.

Then I changed my babies diaper. Oh God...Help me!!

I need fresh air....And what is fresh air...Oxygen...and it comes from where?? Plants?? Who knew!!

EPA - Environmental Political Association.

No science needed - political ideology only.

If all Democrats would just stop breathing, the “problem” would be solved!

Putting the EPA in charge of regulating carbon is like hiring Hell’s Angels to run security at a rock concert.

You know, we really need to have the government issue, and mandate the wearing of, EPA clothing.

I really don’t want a “friendly fire” accident to occur.

Let’s bring back the ozone hole so those greenhouse gasses can escape. In order to do this we’ll have to set up a system of chloroflourocarbon offsets. Gee, maybe I could get rich on that idea (if Algore doesn’t beat me to it).

Everyone who has ever died inhaled carbon dioxide during their lifetime. See, it's settled science!

[Walkingfeather]

ATTENTION AMERICA: THE EPA HAS FORBIDDEN EXHALING UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE.

I imagine that they used the stats of everyone that died of drowning and suffocation (CO2 concentration poisoning) to create this ruling.

Jogging should be outlawed. Those joggers emit much more CO2 than normal people and they are killing us all!

[editor-surveyor]

What a day to be spewing Climate nonsense!

Here in sunny California, Altamont pass is closed for snow removal, the Orinda hills are dusted with snow, and even Oaakland has ice on the sidewalks.

Looks to me like someone is trying to tell us something!

B****HIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Menehune56]

Well, these Einsteins have officially classified CO2 as a dangerous gas. I expect Obamacare will be promoted as corrective action to reduce the human component to CO2 in the effort to return planet Earth to its untouched Gaia state.
