EPA: Global Warming Threatens Public Health, Welfare
These people will not stop until they have been stopped (preferably in a permanent way) or they wind back the world to the darkest of ages where there was the king, the aristocrats and everyone else were serfs. You don't think this is what they want? Try looking at their actions over the decades with an open mind and look at those that have actually implemented these crazy concepts.
Anyway, the article. This time I am not just linking, but quoting so there is no excuse not to read it:

The Environmental Protection Agency sent a proposal to the White House on Friday finding that global warming is endangering the public's health and welfare, according to several sources, a move that could have far-reaching implications for the nation's economy and environment.
The proposal -- which comes in response to a 2007 Supreme Court decision ordering EPA to consider whether carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases should be regulated under the Clean Air Act -- could lay the groundwork for nationwide measures to limit such emissions. It reverses one of the Bush administration's landmark environmental decisions: In July 2008 then-EPA administrator Stephen Johnson rejected his scientific and technical staff's recommendation and announced the agency would seek months of further public comment on the threat posed by global warming pollution.
"This is historic news," said Frank O'Donnell, who heads the public watchdog group Clean Air Watch. "It will set the stage for the first-ever national limits on global warming pollution. And it is likely to help light a fire under Congress to get moving."
But business groups decried the move as an economic disaster. BWA: Ya think?!?
"By moving forward with the endangerment finding on greenhouse gases, EPA is putting in motion a set of decisions that may have far-reaching unintended consequences," said Bill Kovacs, vice president of environment, technology and regulatory affairs at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. "Specifically, once the finding is made, no matter how limited, some environmental groups will sue to make sure it is applied to all aspects of the Clean Air Act.
"This will mean that all infrastructure projects, including those under the president's stimulus initiative, will be subject to environmental review for greenhouse gases. Since not one of the projects has been subjected to that review, it is possible that the projects under the stimulus initiative will cease. This will be devastating to the economy."
In December 2007 EPA submitted a written recommendation to the White House urging the Bush administration to allow EPA to state officially that global warming is a threat to human welfare. But senior White House officials refused to open the document and urged Johnson to reconsider, saying such a finding would trigger sweeping regulatory requirements under the 45-year-old Clean Air Act. An EPA analysis had found the move would cost utilities, automakers and others billions of dollars while also bringing benefits to other economic sectors.
EPA officials could not be reached immediately today for comment on the proposal.
Several congressional Democrats had urged EPA administrator Lisa P. Jackson to move ahead with an endangerment finding on the grounds that it was scientifically warranted and would help push Congress to enact a national cap on greenhouse gases. Unlike President George W. Bush, President Obama backs such mandatory limits.
On Thursday Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.), who chairs the Environment and Public Works Committee, said, "There is no question that the law and the facts require an endangerment finding, and it should happen without further delay, and I believe it will."
What endangerment? There is NO, REPEAT NO OBSERVABLE endangerment except that which is shown in
STATISTICAL COMPUTER SIMULATIONS (aka models). Notice the word STATISTIC .. you know .. lies, damn lies, STATISTICS!!!
I mean look at that recent thread spewed by the greenies about how the sea level rise is going to be worse than expected. Where they get the projections from? STATISTICAL MODELS!! .. Those same models that did not predict the current cooling trend. Yep .. they are so perfect that they can't even get recent climate history correct.
You smug greenie
[text edited]! Don't you realise that you will ALSO be affected .. you so rich that you don't mind a MASSIVE EFFECTIVE pay cut? You don't mind earning 50% or more LESS than you are now? Even though I am pulling these figures from my a**, look at what last years electricity issue has done for SA prices. Off the scale .. and this is just the start.
Don't forget that the 2% GDP reduction has been linked to a 10% reduction in production of commodities exports. It just so happens that the mines, and smelters, have to work using 10% less electricity. Coincidence? What happens when they have to cap an additional 10%, or 20%, or more? You think our GDP will not be affected?
I have come to hate you greenies so much it hurts to know that you breathe!! Think about that .. think about all the people who just want to live normal lives but can't because the greenies won't leave them alone. The greenies that think they know everything .. those sad, useless, pieces of
[text edited] that need to get off by ruining other people's lives. How many millions have died of malaria because of Silent Spring? Everything you touch is destroyed!
You
[text edited] prevent controlled burning and entire towns are wiped out in uncontrolled forest fires. You prevent dams and people go thirsty. You cut off cheap gas and electricity and thousands, maybe millions, freeze to death every year. And you sit there smugly thinking .. "good, the world needs less people".
What the world needs is less pretentious
[text edited] like yourself and more honest, decent people. You are just lucky that people like me have morals, ethics and personal responsibility. Because if people like us were a little more like you, well, then the fun begins.
