Time's Joe Klein raves that the Supreme Court ruling that EPA can regulate carbon dioxide as a pollutant is "fabulous":
This is fabulous news from the Supreme Court. Let's hope it lifts some of the remaining diffidence in DC regarding actual solutions--as in, carbon taxes or cap-and-trade programs, or a bit of both.
Leave it to a liberal journalist to find the Court opening the avenue to more taxes as "fabulous."

April 2, 2007 - 14:55 ET by bassndudeI guess we will just have to let some fires burn to. After all, dont we use CO2 to extinguish gas and oil fires? Small ones anyway. Isint one of the componets of the foam we use on fires CO2? Oh! And we use CO2 for welding. Building water treatment plants, buildings of all types, cars, even the hybreds. Bicycles, tricycles, exercising equipment.
Save a SeAL, club a liberal!!

April 2, 2007 - 14:57 ET by Dave in TexasLiberals are so funny. This is like the dog chasing the car. He's just two feet away from the back bumper and thinks it's "fabulous".
Canada caught the car a long time ago. This article that I saw over at Junk Science today shows how much fun they're having with it.

April 2, 2007 - 15:54 ET by NL207These Canadians are just another brand of idiots. They actually believe they can have some effect on climate change.
A mosquito sucking blood out of an elefant's backside has more effect on that elefant than the Canadians would on global climate change if they completely dissappeared from the face of the Earth.

April 2, 2007 - 15:16 ET by DyneWait a second, if the ruling that "EPA can regulate carbon dioxide as a pollutant" is true, then they can do absolutely nothing because carbon dioxide is NOT a pollutant.
Nowadays, the term "journalistic integrity" sounds like an oxymoron.
"It is a watershed momen
April 2, 2007 - 15:19 ET by rimsky"It is a watershed moment in the fight against global warming," said Josh Dorner, spokesman for the Sierra Club environmental group.
"This is a total repudiation of the refusal of the Bush administration to use the authority he has to meet the challenge posed by global warming.
It also "sends a clear signal to the market that the future lies not in dirty, outdated technology of yesterday, but in clean energy solutions of tomorrow like wind, solar," he added.
The above quotes are so overly dramatic... one poster on the Time blog appropiately asked, what is it that is so HUGE about this decision, because it doesn't really give anybody authority to do anything, except that it does say that the EPA can regulate CO2 emissions from cars.. don't they already do that?

April 2, 2007 - 15:40 ET by Cool Arrowco and not co2 the EPA previously controlled.
Course, silly me believed co2 was a factor in the symbiotic relationship between plants and animals.

April 2, 2007 - 15:48 ET by Clear thinkerNow we're gonna have to outlaw mulching!
Know what happens as mulch breaks down???
For those of you in Rio Linda.... it puts off co2.
The liberal MSM has become an enemy of the USA.
They're gonna have to outlaw
April 2, 2007 - 16:04 ET by winston smithThey're gonna have to outlaw the 7 Seas and water vapor, too. And while they're at it, maybe they can begin a liberal campaign to "Stop the Reckless Eruptions of Volcanoes" because nature is way, way ahead of humans when it comes to the production of CO2. The boneheads on the left still don't seem to understand this --- or they simply don't want to understand it. I still to this day, get into arguments with liberals who see no difference between CO (carbon MONoxide) and CO2 (carbon dioxide), they think they're one in the same -- that CO2 is an actual pollutant. These are professsionals; college grads--- don't understand 8th grade biology. Ignorance Is Strength, indeed!
You know what else, we need t
April 2, 2007 - 16:28 ET by Ron was RIGHTYou know what else, we need to sound the alarm about the deadly chemical Dihydrogen Monoxide. Every year it kills thousands of people and it is so corrosive that it eats through stone. In fact no single subtance is responcible for more deaths and distruction then Dihydrogen Monoxide. Every day in America, children are exposed to this dangerous substance. If we don't do something now we are all gonna die! What kind of Presedent would allow this to happpen? Well George W Bush of course. He refuses to sign the Dihydrogen Monoxide bill. George W Bush does not care about your kids!
By the way Dihydrogen Monoxid
April 2, 2007 - 16:40 ET by Ron was RIGHTBy the way Dihydrogen Monoxide is H2O. (H2O is water for those of you in Rio Linda) The idea is that people in this country have been releaved of their responcibility to think and now just listen to morons like Al Gore. Its like "Do what we say now! No No No dont think just do! There is no time to think! If you think then we wont be able to save the world from <insert crisis of the hour here>"
Ill bet if you told people those facts about Dihydrogen Monoxide and didnt tell them at the end that it was water they would want to ban it. I remember when Pen and Teller went to a Greenpeace rally and got hundreds of signature to ban Dihydrogen Monoxide. Idiots I tell ya.
By the way Dihydrogen Monoxid
April 2, 2007 - 16:41 ET by Ron was RIGHTDamn im impatient
By the way Dihydrogen Monoxid
April 2, 2007 - 16:41 ET by Ron was RIGHTReally impatient
Ron, I'm glad to see you out
April 3, 2007 - 08:14 ET by Cool ArrowRon, I'm glad to see you out in front on this issue. When WC Fields spoke out against it, he was laughed at for being a drunkard.
Although I've used it on occasion, and even immersed my body in it from time to time, it's not something I'm proud of.
It's so bad here in Texas, we often are warned when clouds of Dihydrogen Monoxide drift over local communities.
Anything Joe Klein has to say
April 2, 2007 - 17:31 ET by bigtimerAnything Joe Klein has to say is a comedy routine.
Period.
What a simpleton...we are all going to be taxed or hurt by this decision today...more companies will leave this country...the ones that remain will just up our costs...including the leftist critters, who are to simple to understand that.
