Due to the recent death of Edward Kennedy, the Senate version of the Waxman-Markley climate change bill -- named after its sponsors Henry Waxman (D-CA) and Edward J. Markey (D-MA) and officially known as H.R.2454: American Clean Energy and Security Act of 2009 -- is on hold. As a result, we’ll all have to suffer a bit longer with the effects of global warming until the bill is passed.

Don’t despair, however. Amy Goodman’s Democracy Now! network does have some good news to report about the government’s efforts at reversing global warming. According to Goodman, while the efforts of the Senate to pass a climate change bill may be stalled, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has announced plans to declare carbon dioxide (CO2) “a dangerous pollutant.”

Amy Goodman should hold her breath, then, indefinitely! Tards everywhere (hope that’s not too unPC).

The EPA needs to eliminate that evil greenhouse gas and human killer chemical, Dihydrogen Monoxide.

Dihydrogen Monoxide ?
I thought it was Hydroxic Acid or its closely related cousin Hydrogen Hydroxide.

In 2005, there were 3,582 fatal unintentional Dihydrogen Monoxide inhalations in the United States, averaging ten deaths per day. An additional 710 people died, from unintentional Dihydrogen Monoxide inhalation and other causes, in boating-related incidents.1, 2

CPC. Worse than 9/11!

If the EPA rules CO2 “a dangerous pollutant”, should we not move to immediately outlaw all CO2 fire extinguishers in the Country??

Does it not follow then that we move to prosecute all of the “Insurance Company Executives” who have encouraged American Citizens to store bottles of this concentrated “poison” in their homes and businesses over the past decades??

Just sayin’...

When CO2 is outlawed, the fizz in pop and beer will disappear. Packaged red meat will turn gray. 100 other products that benefit from CO2 will disappear.
