EPA drawing more flak on GHG emissions plan
Resistance is growing to a U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) attempt to regulate greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions under the federal Clean Air Act, with several states and industry groups challenging the move.
The American Iron and Steel Institute (AISI), Washington, was one of several groups and interested parties that filed petitions in advance of the Feb. 17 deadline to challenge the EPA’s “Endangerment Filing,” in which the federal agency wants to regulate greenhouse gas emissions under the Clean Air Act.
The AISI earlier this week said it was challenging the EPA’s Endangerment Finding on the grounds that its analysis of the evidence and its process for reaching its findings were “fundamentally inadequate” (AMM, Feb. 17).
Petitions also have been filed in the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia by Gerdau Ameristeel Corp., Tampa, Fla.; Peabody Energy Corp., St. Louis; such industry groups as the National Mining Association and...

Yeah, that's the ticket. Saying that the "science is settled" makes it settled. Let's dispense with minor items such as data, evidence, proof, consensus, and the scientific method.
Is Algore the head of the EPA?
That may work against VA, and even TX, but there gonna have a problem here,IMO.
Peabody Energy has all its ducks in a row and they’re comin’ out shootin’!
"And we're NOT going to talk about it any more, you doodoo heads!" (much stamping of cranky little feet)
common sense measures? lolol
There is no such thing as settled science by its very definition
The morons don’t even see the laughable contradiction inherent in their statement.
We need to strip the EPA from the Federal govt, and throw its components into an active volcano.
Yes, Virginia, opposition among the states to climate fraud is growing: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2454495/posts
I know of SCIENCE FICTION... that’s more SETTLED than this GloBULL warming....
Water Vapor comprises 95% of the greenhouse gases.
Naturally occurring CO2 comprises less than 4 %.
Man-made CO2 comprises less than 4% of that 4%.
The variations in Water content in the atmosphere have significantly greater impact on the level of “greenhouse gases than any contribution man makes.
Furthermore, CO2 is an 800 year lagging indicator TRAILING temperature.
While the Arctic ice caps have retreated slightly, the Antarctic ice caps have grown and furthermore, 75% of Antarctica’s area is 8 METERS THICKER than it was 20 years ago.
Add to this the VERY long list of recently discredited AGW conclusions.....and assume for a moment that you are capable of objective assessment, you will likely conclude that there is NO GLOBAL WARMING!!!
The facts don’t matter.
Evil governments will take the power once an opportunity presents itself.
These GW scientists and environmental wackos has done far more damage to the world then they understand.
Time to dismantle the EPA and move all Environmental activities to individual State control.
When we take back the Congress the Reps could totally defund this cancerous Department.

Liars!
The EPA is run by lunatics, not scientists.
If they believe that carbon dioxide is a hazard to people, then they should kill themselves and lessen that threat.
My GOd, how stupid can people be? Oh, I forgot, Washington DC bureaucratics. SORRY!
