EPA: Greenhouse gases health threat

I've spent 30 years in the air pollution control and water pollution control industry. The issuance of this report by EPA has completely destroyed its credibility and it has most definitely become a shill for the extremists. It reminds me of the Soviet propaganda machines in the 60s and 70s.

I don't think that this has anything to do with small business. Its autos and coal plants for the most part. The problem is that we can limit CO2 gases until the cows come home, but the worlds greenhouse gas problem will not be alleviated by the US alone.

The problem on a number of fronts and not just this area is China, plain and simple. If the UN for instance imposes rules, do we think the Chinese will follow them? I don't think so.

And when the cows do come home, put a roof over their head.

Everyone should protest by having a fire in their back yards, every single day.
I wonder how they'd tax that?

I've spent 30 years in the air pollution control and water pollution control industry. The issuance of this report by EPA has further enhanced its credibility and is an absolutely necessary step.

This will now allow the government to literally regulate human breathing. Have you paid your breathing tax today?

President Obama does not disappoint! This declaration is on track !

Welcome to Nobama's United Socialist States of America. Don't get caught with a chimenia on your deck!

Let's get one thing straight. Contrary to the article above, EPA has not issued an endangerment finding; the Administrator today has signed a proposed endangerment finding. An endangerment finding by itself does not trigger regulation, but it is a step.

Read all about it at:

http://www.epa.gov/climatechange/endangerment.html

There will be a period of 60 days after the proposal is published in the Federal Register (look for that in about a month) during which anyone who wants to can comment. If you like what EPA is proposing, say so; if you don't, tell EPA. Nothing is final yet.

Judging by some of these pro-pollution posts, if it were not for EPA regulation we would still be using DDT and dumping mercury and every other toxin in streams and rivers. As long as we put it in someone else's backyard, then it's OK....right? We can't control China so why should we do the right thing? Sorry, but that is the wrong attitude.

Sweet! More government regulation from the Obama administration! What's next? I can't wipe with more than one piece of toilet paper?!!

I think we need to invade China for having weapons of global climate destruction

Thanks, TomS, for a level-headed response! Complaining that we can't force China to comply shouldn't be a reason for us to ignore it.

Fortunately, VivianT, our government doesn't regulate the poor choice of the use of the word "literally" when people make posts! They won't regulate that any more than regulating your or my breathing, regardless (note please, it's not "irregardless") of inflammatory postings.

The SKY IS FALLING!!! The SKY IS FALLING!!!

Run!! Call Al Gore. He an Tipper are so GOOD at listening to records played BACKWARDS. This all of
the "Science" we Need.

Pass the doobie cause we does not have to inhale to get the full blast.

I've spent 30 years in the air pollution control and water pollution control industry.

I breath and drink water everyday and I've noticed that everybody is in my face telling me what to do, when to do it , and how to do it !!!!!

obama go tell China, India, Cuba, and every other third rate country on what THEY need to do about CO2...then come back here and hobble the US economy !!!!!

When you get buy in from them THEN come to me!!!!

Carbon dioxide is now dangerous. I wonder how many times he had to say it to believe it.

I remember the ozone scare (O3), we were depleting the ozone layer. We never knew how to measure the ozone layer. Same science applied here.

Next will come nitrogen.

And in reality, oxegen is far more toxic to humans than either of these other gases. We can only survive in a finite window of concentration.

When you get buy in from them THEN come to me!!!!

In the mean time will you be cutting off your nose to spite your face?

It's at times like these that I will miss George Carlin the most.
Some say the northeast will become too warm to support the sugar maples and the ski season.
Others say it will become colder and snowier because of the slowing of the ocean conveyor.
This thing is kinda like a little religion in a way, huh?
I've been reading where some scientists are predicting an ice age instead of global warming.
Why don't you get on the same page before you start going around with your collection plates please.

The future is LED home light fixtures - why are we stuck on using bulbs? They are designed to be temporary - changed and disposed of (especially those with mercury). Lets think long term results and returns!

Pollution is pollution whether it be on land, in the air, or in the water. Why can't we leave things a little cleaner for our children and grandchildren regardless of what the rest of the world does? You have the power. You can choose to be part of the problem or part of the solution!

Next up; a EPA reg on banning "farts"! How about that mercury in the energy bulbs. Don't bust one or you need a EPA clean-up permit. Ban cow also, too much flatulence. Whoops, there goes meat and McDonalds! Gloda- warning/climate BS is just ignorant lefty hype. Obama and his pals are going to continue to pander this charade until they destroy our American economy and our lives. This is madness. Yes sir, coming soon from the Obama transportation corp.(note not motor)...camel power! Think of it...camel trains instead of those nasty diesel trucks. No need for roads, tear up those parking lots, plant grass to absorb the dreaded gas. They conserve water too. Man, I could go on with 100's of uses. But, do you dare abuse your camel. PETA on your a**. Sounds wonderful, the glorious new EPA/lefty way of life. So rid-dick-us.

Yeah, guys I'm agree with you. It is very important to stay on top of your health and have a check up at least once a year to ensure that you remain healthy. Many health problems are curable but you need to catch them in time.

And Rob, I also read that they are blaming the next ice age on global warming now. How ludicrous. What are they going to get away with next. This group is out of control.
