EPA cracks down on 'ideologically driven regulations' New methane standards part of 'big puzzle' involving environment

Last Thursday, the EPA announced the adoption of new environmental standards that will reduce overburdensome regulations on methane emissions from oil and natural gas operations. While the climate alarmists will scream that the end is near, the EPA estimates the new regulations will increase methane emissions by only a few percent over the next 5 years. And it represents an important shift in the EPA’s stance on whether it should regulate greenhouse gases (GHGs) other than carbon dioxide (CO2)

Okay everybody hold your breath for one hour to support reguating C-uhOh-2. Hey, It's a start.

I find it comical that they want to regulate the one gas emitted by literally all human activity, including breathing.

Even funnier (in a stoopiduhr way) are all the assclowns decrying ‘fossil fuel’ stuff standing around in their north face/patagonia/llbean synthetic clothes. After arriving in their zero emissions vehicles. Yeah, the ones on rubber tires and plenty of plastic and lubricated by sperm whale oil grease, etc., etc., etc. If they really cared, mud huts and dung fires with saw grass kilts. :-)

CO2 isn’t a greenhouse gas, so if they want to regulate greenhouse gases at all, they kind of *have* to regulate greenhouse gases “other than CO2.”

And how did CO2 get this reputation as a greenhouse gas, anyway? There used to be stuff online about a French chemist around 1910 who conducted a frequently repeated experiment proving it isn’t. Can’t find any reference to him now, though...

Methane happens. Money thrown at it ends up in someone’s pocket.

And the one that’s used in photosynthesis?

I’m guessing from observing Venus? Spectral analysis, etc.
