The Environmental Protection Agency is set to rule that carbon dioxide - which trees breathe - is not an air pollutant and that the federal government has no authority to regulate emissions linked to the global warming hoax. Oh, my friends, the left is already going batty out there and this is just going to end their day. They live by pushing the false notion that CO2 is an air pollutant! Reuters reported Wednesday, The decision would be a big win for automakers producing high fuel consumption vehicles, such as SUVs, and utilities that operate coal-burning power plants, which collectively account for 60 percent of U.S. carbon dioxide emissions. The Environmental Protection Agency could announce the new policy as early as Thursday, according to the Natural Resources Defense Council. It's another huge favor for the Bush administration's big polluter contributors, said David Doniger, policy director of the NRDC's climate center. It seems like the Bush White House would say anything for its friends. They would even call a blue sky green, said Doniger, who was told by EPA staff about the agency's imminent decision. Can you imagine what motivated these people when they were growing up? When David Doniger was seven years old, and his dad asked him what he wanted to do, did he say, I want to study air pollutants, dad. I want to make sure there are no pollutants in the air and there's no global warming. Probably not, since when this guy was a kid the left was screaming about global cooling to get their anti-capitalist agenda passed. Doniger is like the [58]NOCIRC guy thats trying to stamp out circumcision out in San Francisco. I mean, here's a guy that obviously gets paid in tips. It just amazes me what inspires people to end up doing what they do. It always will.
