I know, I know.
I also assume that most who frequent FR know.
I chose to take the line of reasoning that our freedom going to be taken away from us. Most folks get a lot more excited about their freedom than about a discussion as to whether eating eggs is bad for you.
The thing that everyone should worry about is losing our freedom.
It is my understanding that if EPA does this, under the present laws congress can not stop them.

A federal lawsuit needs to be filed against the EPA to compel them to PROVE CO2 is detrimental to the environment and causes climate change.
To: Delacon
No apparent mentions of Climategate. EPA should really rethink this, but I have complete faith that they won’t.

They are, therefore, enemies of human activity and are public enemies as much as Muslim extremists who want to kill us for being infidels. Besides, most of them are socialists of varying degrees and, therefore, are enemies of individual human liberty.
I agree. Great post.

Since we are entering the era of complete governmental control of human behavior, which board can I appeal to for the speech crimes inflicted on me by my wife when I let one rip?

You mean that the decision won’t happen just before the right time, or just after the right time, or perhaps a century before or after the right time?

CONCLUSION: For the foregoing reasons, EPA should immediately suspend any action it is about to take on an Endangerment Finding, and reopen this proceeding for an investigation of, and public comment on, the newly-released information.Way to go CEI! Good to see there's some authoritative body fighting this. Get the word out! Send this FReep thread to all your friends. .

According to a preliminary endangerment finding published in April, EPA scientists fear that man-made carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases are contributing to a warming of the global climate. Senior EPA officials said in November the agency would likely make a final decision in December around the time of the summit.
This just demonstrates what my uncle, who was the CEO of a major utility in Michigan for 27 years, said about the EPA: their science is outmoded. When the EPA came to his utility about installing some sort of pollution abatement and offered to make to them special low interest federal loans to employ EPA scientists to set up what they thought needed to be done, he told them they'd do it themselves. And they did. They paid for it all themselves at a cost far, far less than the EPA would have required, ended up with an effluent that was cleaner than the water they took into their utility for cooling, and won a regional award for it. The EPA's MO was to get a utility to accept the low interest loan and then use this as a way of saying what a wonderful job they could all accomplish in the "partnership" with the government agency. When the EPA guy came to take part in their award ceremony my uncle made sure that the EPA guy spoke after he did. In his speech he emphasized how they were able to accomplish what they did all on their own, at a relatively low cost, in a manner that greatly exceeded all government requirements, without any government involvement at all. He said that there was nothing left for the EPA guy to say but to congratulate them on their accomplishment. TREATED!

I believe they can, but I am not certain.
Surely if they can hold up funds for the military who are actually fighting, which they have done, they can “forget” to include funds for EPA in the next appropriations bill.
To: Mr_Moonlight
Panic by the EPA .. their house of cards is crashing down all around and they cant think of anything else to do but lash out willy-nilly with whatever theyve got left in their empty arsenal of rhetoricNo need for panic - who's going to stop them????

The EPA is trying to rewrite the law in doing this. If they do this I will sue.

The border fence is a good example - it passed, but there was no money for it.
