The sky is not falling due to carbon dioxide emissions. The EPA and environmental lobby argument assumes the US controls the destiny of global warming even though China and India are the main emission producers. There are 86 million barrels of oil used everyday. The US uses about 20-30. The rest of the world is generating carbon dioxide using the rest of the oil. The EPA is full of power grabbers who would love to get larger fiefdoms to control. Imagine the promotions and power just over the horizon when they get to control your every breath.

"I am shocked, ...shocked" that the US would even consider a unilateral approach to dealing with a global issue which is clearly beyond solution by a single nation, or even a subset of nations. Where is the coalition? And, in anticipation of the economic calamity which would result from such a unilateral approach, where is the exit strategy? China commissioned ~90 gigawatts of new coal-fired generation in 2006; and, probably another ~90 GW in 2007. In another 3 years, at that pace, they will have added new coal-fired generation equal to the entire coal-fired generation fleet in the US. China's CO2 emissions are growing at ~10% per year; and, currently represent ~22% of total annual global emissions. I am relatively confident US citizens would not freely choose to go through decades of economic hardship so that the Chinese economy could continue to grow and increase its emissions unhindered. But, I could be wrong.

Please name the Supreme Court Justices who qualify as CLIMATE SCIENTISTS with the ability to certify that CO2 is a "pollutant"! First I want to see their PROOF, and then I want to know where they got it and from whom! The Clinton/Gore 'gang' made LYING the basis of their administration, and they packed the EPA with phony scientists who are unqualified to do much except cause trouble. Their initial goal is to first destroy the economy of the USA, and then to establish themselves as the final government authority, over-riding all three branches of government enumerated in the Constitution. There is NO PROOF that CO2 is a pollutant, or that it has anything to do with 'man-made' global warming. CO2 just happens to be what plants require to live, and banning it is impossible since every time a human exhales, that human exhales CO2, as do ALL other mammals. The EPA needs to be abolished. It has become an agency of destruction, and we already have enough people trying to destroy this country...such as the Democrat-controlled Congress with their idiotic energy policies and the foreign lawyers who control our Supreme Court's decisions.
