White House Blocks EPA Emissions Draft Document Outlines Keys To Regulating Greenhouse Gases By IAN TALLEY and SIOBHAN HUGHES June 30, 2008
WASHINGTON -- The White House is trying to prevent the Environmental Protection Agency from publishing a document that could become the legal roadmap for regulating greenhouse-gas emissions in the U.S., said people close to the matter.
The fight over the document is the latest development in a long-running conflict between the EPA and the White House over climate-change policy. It will likely intensify ongoing Congressional investigations into the Bush administration's involvement in the agency's policymaking.
The draft document, which has been viewed by The Wall Street Journal, outlines how the government, under the Clean Air Act, could regulate greenhouse-gas emissions from mobile sources such as cars, trucks, trains, planes and boats, and from stationary sources such as power stations, chemical plants and refineries. The document is based on a multimillion-dollar study conducted over two years.

I’ll join you...
EPA - another of those three letter govt. agencies needing massive downsizing.
If we could get all the liberals in the this country to stop exhaling, we’d cut CO2 emissions significantly.
All these agency heads are appointed by someone......maybe the President?
Stephen L. Johnson , head of the EPA, was appointed by President Bush. This is all too easy, can’t he be fired by President Bush?
Just a question, but when the head of a sub agency thinks he is bigger than the boss, don’t they usually lose their jobs over it?
Jason Burnett, Bush EPA official, resigns to support Obama

Thanks. He is an associate deputy administrator. The question still stand.
Bush hired him so tell him to walk the line or he can fire him.
Like Bush isn’t villified every day regardless of what he does.
This PC crap is killing us.
True, the one point that I make publicly that seems to work is: “if we want to be able to influence our government it is imperative that those we elect make the decisions.”
As the chief administrator of of the EPA doesn’t the President have a say in all that they do? Also, how is it that the media has copies of governmeental documents that have not been released?
The legislature should not be allowed to run the executive by proxy. the EPA reports to the President and should do his bidding, and if we don’t like it we can elect a different President.
Another gift from that RINO socialist Nixon. Several congressmen warned Nixon that the EPA would be used to control and finally destroy private property in America.
In Rapanos v US it was clearly shown that the EPA is run by lawless thugs. At the least, the EPA pigs should have been thrown in prison. The gutless congress wouldn’t even hold hearings to expose the criminal acts. It will be up to us to clean out the criminal fascist bureaucracy.
I think most people are not aware that the most significant “greenhouse gas” is natural water vapor. A second is methane. The Gorons are concerned about the third (and last), which is carbon dioxide. CO2 is present in the atmosphere in trace amounts: about 380 parts per million, up from about 320 ppm 50 years ago. I am so worried about this that I have been reading about climate change in Greenland, where crops were grown 1,000 years ago.
Global warming is a pagan religion.

My thoughts exactly. Fire the lot of them, but start with Hansen. He's already on liberal payrolls. Losing his government check won't even be a hardship for the most vocal censored man in history.
