The Physical Evidence of Earth's Unstoppable 1,500-Year Climate Cycle
unreal. one unelected judge will approve the Kyoto treaty, or deny it.
Ginsburg taking a closer look at the evidence in the Global Warming Case.
And while Rome burns (in self flagellating stupidity) the barbarians gather at the gates, salivating over future conquest.
Can somebody bring a lawsuit to the USSC to shut down all the Lawyers whose hot air arguments are ALSO contributing to global warming? Shut the hell up, unless the Third World is going to stop modernizing, as their pollution is a greater threat than the already over-regulated emissions in the U.S.
Help me figure out how global warming is a constitutional issue that has to be resolved by the scotus...
If the court rules that Carbon Dioxide is a pollutant, does that mean I can no longer exhale?
read the article comments on the 10,000 EPA employees petitioning the SCOTUS to rule in favor of the environmentalists - they want to regulate every aspect of life that involves carbon dioxide emissions.
Do they mean that what every mammal on earth EXHALES is now an AIR POLLUTANT?
Other than the effluvia that wafts out of Teddy Kennedy, that's preposterous.
because the clean air act is a law - and once it becomes a law, the courts have supreme jurisdiction to decide.
my sense is - we lose this decision 5-4. Kennedy has generally been moving to the liberal side.
we fell one SCOTUS appointment short of making a significant change in this country, and now with the Dems controlling the US senate - that opportunity is gone for a generation.
Let's file a lawsuit demanding that big cities such as New York control and pay for the criminals that they create and unleash on the rest of America.
If science can't prove it, then legislate it. Next the Supreme Court will have to weigh in on how many angels can stand on the head of a pin.
is methane considered a pollutant, cause if it is, no more farting allowed either....
Of course not. You'll just be taxed for breathing. Most likely per household. This will keep people from having more than one child.
Will anyone check in with real scientists on this case? Somehow, I doubt it. Global Warming - OK, but when will my winter heating bills reflect that warming? I'm waiting...
what this case again shows - is the the left can advance their agenda through the courts alone.
Kennedy wants to be admired and lionized on the cocktail circuit.
That means he must vote in favor of the environmentalists, because global warming is extremely chic just now.
why do 9 lawyers care anything about the opinions of science? or the law for that matter? read Souter's comments above - just because he "feels" it would help, he'll vote to mandate the entire US economy be inundated with regulations on every aspect of life involving transportation and energy.
