EPA Takes Aim at Carbon Dioxide and Global Warming

Following up on its promise in April to go after greenhouse gases, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency announced on Monday that it will declare carbon dioxide a dangerous pollutant if Congress does not act soon. EPA chief Lisa Jackson told lawmakers at a hearing on Capitol Hill that she is prepared to file a formal “endangerment finding” that would trigger federal regulations on greenhouse gas emissions within the next few months.

Jackson’s move has been viewed by Washington observers as an attempt to prod the Senate into taking up a House bill affecting energy policy and climate change. Senators have been slow to react to the proposal, in part because of distractions from the health care reform debate.

That was done by the Supreme court about a year and a half ago. Not that they were correct, C02 is plant food not a pollutant. However, the EPA, on their way to killing another Million people, will not be stopped. When is that trial with the Chamber of Commerce? I have been waiting for years for this hoax to be shown up as the hoax it is. It seems like no matter how cold it gets, no body will stop this.
