CO2 Is Deadly Gas! OMG!

[Semiauto]

Well, if the benevolent federal government can declare greenhouse gases as a public health issue, can evil guns be far behind?

Holy crap! Don't breathe!! So my son is killing the environment when he uses his CO2 pistol for target practice? What a bigger joke the gov't is becoming. Honestly, could weapons or ammo be further behind?

[macville]

So does this mean we are going to ban all soda and beer since it contains CO2????

Racist.

[Mark@Sea]

Mayhap we should ban the EPA. Nationwide exposure to their idiocy can't be good for us...

[jughead]

i have been saying for years we need to ban the EPA they seem to answer to no one.

Help I can't breathe................

The Congress is emitting so much CO2 it's killing all of us.

AAHHHHHH...............................

[56FordGuy]

WAIT! WAIT! Everybody keep breathing! Open a carbonated beverage! Shoot some paintballs!

Please, someone please think of the plants! You'll kill them all! Oh, someone save the trees! Quick, everybody breath on the trees! They're going to regulate away all the co2 and the trees will die! Please, save the redwoods!

Awful bunch of ruckus over a gas that makes up four hundredths of one percent of the atmosphere. I have to admit, I'm actually waiting to see if the greenies are smart enough to realize that they just contradicted themselves.

[Guest CrazyLincoln]

Can someone please help me?

I've read the Constitution over and over again and can't seem to find the section where it grants congress the ability to delegate lawmaking, public policy decisions, and legal regulations to an unelected agency.

I guess I'm just missing something.....

You know, I had a thought the other day about "Global Warming". I think it's a total bunch of BS and really just about seperating my money from my wallet, but just for the sake of argument let's say there may be some truth to it. Wouldn't it be cheaper to just figure out a way to adapt to a warmer climate?

To me, I actually prefer it to be little warmer. Also, crops seem to grow better in a warm climate, wouldn't we be able to feed more people?

OK, so the ocean rises a little bit. Big deal, move a little inland or build a sea wall.

[USMCJG]

Does anyone else consider the timing of this crap a bit convenient? It's no coincidence that it comes right before the Copenhagen meetings and right after the leaked emails that throw serious doubt on the so-called climate scientists who are pushing the AGW agenda.

[Guest Old goat]

You do see this for what it is don't you? Congress doesn't have to do crap on "Cap and Tax" now. Good old EPA and our buddy Cass can just regulate now.

[Trekbike]

From the article linked below.

The Environmental Protection Agency formally declared Monday that carbon dioxide from the burning of fossil fuels poses a threat to human health and welfare

I thought CO2 was CO2. So why is the CO2 that we all breath out not a threat to human health? Just the burning of fossil fuels. What a crock.

This is getting to the point I want to explode!!!

And we thought second hand smoke was bad, so are they going to put out a notice for second hand breathing?

I've invented a new scrubber for CO2 that is a beautiful decoration to add to your home. The model below is a prototype. I'm planning on adding a variety of shapes and sizes, as well as some that feature a variety of appealing colors to complement the decorations in your domicile and that are sure to please you and your significant other. When this scrubber was first discovered, it was also found to release oxygen upon receiving CO2, which is an added benefit to carbon based lifeforms. They require watering on a weekly basis. Amount and frequency varies by model. PM me if you would like to preorder one of these amazing contraptions. They are only $34.99 for the base model plus shipping and handling.

Climategate: Barack Obama's rule by EPA decree is a coup d'etat against Congress, made in Britain

Who needs tanks on the lawn when you have the Environmental Protection Agency? Barack Obama’s use of the EPA to pressurise the Senate to pass his climate change Nuremberg Decrees shows his dictatorial mentality. He wants to override Congress, which is hostile to his climate gobbledegook because it is representative of the American electorate, and sideline the nation’s elected Senators by ruling by decree, courtesy of the EPA. This is a coup d’état.

And what is the justification for this undemocratic action? The allegedly imminent threat from “Anthropogenic Global Warmingâ€. There is always a supposed threat, when tyrants take the stage. The President of the United States has just reduced his moral authority to the level of any Third World dictator heading a “Government of National Emergencyâ€. Fortunately, the world’s leading democracy, which he is trying to subvert, has guarantees of liberty so deeply embedded in its Constitution that US citizens are well placed to fight back.

In the first place, regulation can be challenged in a way that laws cannot. So the EPA’s proposed ruling on so-called “Greenhouse Gases†can be opposed extensively with litigation, to the point that the ruling might not yet be in force when Obama demits office. In the second place, the EPA is funded by Congress. So, if the Agency is being used to bypass or neuter Congress, why should legislators not play hardball and retaliate by cutting off its funding? The EPA may look formidable, but its situation is rather as if Rommel were buying the fuel for his tanks from the Allies.

But what is of compelling interest on this side of the pond is the way in which the bullets to shoot down American democracy were made in Britain. The trail is not hard to follow. When the EPA published its “Endangerment Finding†on greenhouse gases and proposed rule, back in April, almost every paragraph of the text (Federal Register, April 24, 2009, pp 18886-18910) cited as authority the IPCC’s 2007 Report, which the Agency acknowledges it “relies on most heavilyâ€. And whence came the main input on climate change to that report?

Yes, that’s right! You’ve got it: from Phil Jones, Michael Mann and the rest of the lads at the CRU, East Anglia. From the innovative, creative “scientists†who wanted to “beat the crap†out of a climate change sceptic; who “just completed Mike’s Nature trickâ€; who “can’t account for the lack of warming at the moment and it is a travesty that we can’tâ€; who deleted e-mails in the interests of science; who tried to prevent publication of dissenters’ views; who coined the historic phrase “hide the declineâ€.

Those jokers are the main authority for the extravagant claims in the IPCC report and, by extension, for the EPA’s “Endangerment Findingâ€. That is the authority that is being invoked to overturn the principles of 1776 in the United States. The Protocols of the Elders of Norwich are the justification for EPA tyranny. It is with that weighty evidence at his back that Barack Obama is going to Copenhagen to sell out American taxpayers to Third World subsidy junkies, profiteering “green†corporations and the ever entrepreneurial Al Gore. This is the steal of the millennium: forget the Great Train Robbery and the Brinks Mat caper – these hoodlums are targeting $45 trillion.

Obama hates America and, increasingly, that sentiment is being reciprocated. This is a socialist, World Government putsch. Have the American people the resolution to resist it? We shall soon know.

If they are that upset with CO2, what is the reaction going to be when they start attacking CH4 ???

Start taxing farts?

(methane gas)

They are already talking about taxing dairy farmers 150 - 175 per cow due to methane gas from them.

Have you got the impression that the inmates are in charge of the asylum?:screwy:

It's time to flush all the:poop: out of Washington. 2010 the year real change starts!

[dunndw]

If that's the case...just think about how many emissions we'd cut if DC would just SHUT UP. All that hot air, CO2, methane from all the BS. We'd be back in pre indurstrial revolution levels if obama and pelosi would shut their pie holes for 30 minutes.

I heard that the Copenhagen summit going on now is being called CarbonHagen, since all these "we know whats best for you" environmentalists showed up in their private jets, and rode over in hired limos. Meanwhile, the city buses are all making their rounds nearly empty.

These idiots have made a carbon footprint the same size as a small country this week, and then are going to preach how you and I need to suck it up and take one for the team.
