Barack Obama may be forced to order a two-year delay in Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) action on climate change to try to avoid a complete government shutdown, an environmental conference has been warned.
Buried among the $61bn in Republican budget cuts are a series of measures that would strip the overall budget of the EPA by 30%.
The Republican bill would specifically bar the Obama administration from funding programmes regulating greenhouse gas emissions, or connected to climate science and international negotiations for a deal to end global warming.
It cuts funds for the post of White House climate adviser, Carol Browner, who has announced her resignation, and the State Department climate envoy, Todd Stern. It de-funds the UN climate science body, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, and the UN body for climate talks, the UNFCCC.
The White House and Democrats in Congress have called the proposals extreme.
The EPA faces other challenges to its authority in Congress, aside from those in the spending bill. One proposal, which has Democratic as well as Republican support, would delay the EPA's efforts to begin regulating greenhouse gas emissions this year.

One can only hope that nobama will be forced to delay anything he decides to do. nobama is the anti-American destroyer.

Best news of the day (so far). lol
Washington, D.C. Feb. 26, 2009) The Obama administration today proposed a budget of $10.5 billion for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the largest in the agencys 39-year history. The increase of $3 billion from 2008 funding levels will further ensure the protection of public health and the environment for all Americans.

Does this include all the porkulous money that was shoveled to EPA???
Ah yes, the power of the purse.
WHY IS *ANY* MONEY FUNDING THIS PROVEN FRAUD??????
From the headline, I thought The Almighty Won was taking over the climate.
Human produced CO2 accounts for 0.117% of the greenhouse effect.
If we eliminated humans completely, even the “elite ruling class”, there would be zero effect on the greenhouse effect.
Elections have consequences.
Aw that’s a shame.
It all sounds good to me! Cut, cut, cut!
It just gives me the willies wondering where she'll pop up next to ply her anti-American, anti-capitalism trade.
And pop up she will. Operatives like Browner find niches immediately and again begin swilling from government or non-profit front organization troughs.
It behooves everyone who loves freedom to closely watch where this evil free agent signs up again.

Humans taking “action” on the vastly enormous, planetary level forces of climate is a joke, even a grade school child would understand.
Apparently too deep for study-money, propagandizing “scientists to grasp though.

A headline I would like to see.

There have always been shysters who claimed that they could produce rain on command for the proper fee. And they regularly seem to find their market.
The Mt. Carmel showdown between Elijah and the prophets of Baal ( I Kings 18 ) was over exactly this sort of thing.
Older than feudalism, this.
