Gee, when all the Righties with reading-comprehension problems keep having trouble responding to the original topic, I guess I'll keep posting it until they understand what the topic of the thread is... It doesn't much matter to me... So, you guys continue to deflect, and I'll make sure you don't lose sight of what the original post was about:
EPA Greenhouse Gas Rules Upheld By Federal Court
WASHINGTON -- A federal appeals court on Tuesday upheld the first-ever regulations aimed at reducing the gases blamed for global warming. The rules, which were challenged by industry groups and various states, will reduce emissions of six heat-trapping gases from large industrial facilities such as factories and power plants, as well as from automobile tailpipes.
A three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals in Washington said that the Environmental Protection Agency was "unambiguously correct" in using existing federal law to address global warming.
The ruling is perhaps the most significant to come on the issue since 2007, when the Supreme Court found that greenhouse gases could be controlled as air pollutants under the Clean Air Act.
It also lands during a presidential election year where there are sharp differences between the two candidates when it comes to how best to deal with global warming.
The court on Tuesday denied two challenges to the administration's rules, including one arguing that the agency erred in concluding greenhouse gases endanger human health and welfare. The court dismissed arguments against two other regulations dealing with pollution from new factories and other industrial facilities, saying that no one challenging the rules could show they had been harmed by them.
YES!... We must "fight on" to allow those ol' "job-creators" to continue destroying the planet in the name of profits! (And, heck, it gives Gov. Etch-a-Sketch something else to whine about while he's outsourcing [or is it off-shoring?...I can never remember] jobs to China, while giving the standard speech about "I won't let jobs go to China!")
You can't make this stuff up....
So, basically, it boils down to: "The Court said the Environmental Protection Agency was "unambiguously correct" in using existing federal law to address global warming." And it "dismissed arguments against two other regulations dealing with pollution from new factories and other industrial facilities, saying that no one challenging the rules could show they had been harmed by them."
Since Romney is outsourcing/off-shoring jobs overseas as fast as he can, that's a pretty stupid statement to make... "One more reason to vote for Romney?"
Romney is a "job-creator" alright...in China, Singapore, India, Mexico... And he managed to take the state of Massachusetts from 36th to 47th in the nation in job-creation. Yes, one more reason to vote for Romney...
