EPA Formally Declares CO2 a Dangerous Pollutant

"FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, EVERYBODY STOP EXHALING RIGHT NOW!!!! "

Thanks to all the anti-smoking nazis, their unwitting dupes and the panic over second-hand smoke, governments at all levels have the tools in place to regulate who can exhale what and where they can exhale it. Now, by government decree, we are all exhaling dangerous pollutants, expect these statutes to start being used to corral people into certain zones and place a whole lot of public lands off limits.

Think I'm kidding? Just wait....

This is a great idea. If they cut back the rest of us will still be able to use our barbeques and fill up before sundown.

I think a lot of folks already do realize it...

They are simply waiting for the spark...

Lets get together a bunch of volunteers to go out and actively reduce the level of pollutants being pumped into the atmosphere!

I think we should concentrate on the federal capital so as to help raise awareness to the real crises that is presented by letting noxious gas factories continue to exhaust their CO2 into our atmosphere.

"Did you really think we want those laws observed? said Dr. Ferris. We want them to be broken. You'd better get it straight that it's not a bunch of boy scouts you're up against... We're after power and we mean it... There's no way to rule innocent men. The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren't enough criminals one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws. Who wants a nation of law-abiding citizens? What's there in that for anyone? But just pass the kind of laws that can neither be observed nor enforced or objectively interpreted – and you create a nation of law-breakers – and then you cash in on guilt. Now that's the system, Mr. Reardon, that's the game, and once you understand it, you'll be much easier to deal with." ('Atlas Shrugged' 1957)

Seems like the best way to cut down on CO2 is to ban and sports activities, football, jogging, etc. Anything that makes a human breathe heavily is surely creating too much CO2.

No more bicycles, no skate boards, no exercize of any kind. Uses up too much oxygen.

EPA: too much authority in one place.

Nope.
Don’t think you’re kidding at all.

I’ve long asked *why* it’s the “B of ATF”.

Why lump ~those~ particular 3 things to together?

There is no logical commonality.

[unless of course it’s a strategic plan to outlaw them one by one]

I, for one, will LMAO when the limo libs can’t have any more of their precious snooty wine tasting parties or champagne.

They stole it from a convenience store in the America where I grew up.

Don’t forget sex....when done ‘properly’.

I agree, everyone is waiting for that *spark*

Exactly. Given that the Congress absolutely DOES have the power to immediately defund and abolish the EPA based on this clearly illegal power grab, and they obviously choose NOT to, one can only conclude that the Congress has willingly abdicated its Constitutional authority and obligations.

We're not supposed to have unelected, unaccountable, unrepresentative agencies running the nation's economy like this. And they are doing it based on absolute junk "science" that has already been debunked as a complete hoax and fraud!

Seriously, we may as well just have a King with absolute power. Our "representative" government is total sham, an enemy of The People, a de facto dictatorship, and we are nothing but meek and helpless subjects.
