#1 ... and sulfur hexafluoride

Will everyone who has been exhaling sulfur hexafluoride please return to your home world before the EPA does anything stupider than issue press releases like this.

#2 I wonder how bambi's going to explain how skyrocketing prices are Bush'es fault.

Or maybe he and congress will just ignore the people. It isn't as if they have heard anything over the past years. And certainly not after January.

#3 I'd just like to mention that CO2 is what plants breathe. It promotes growth!

#5 What utter drivel.

To take one example, the poor are at additional health risk because they are poor. Jacking up the cost of energy and implementing new regulatory restrictions on energy use will make them poorer. Hence at greater health risk.

And the millions of green jobs is an out and out lie. A recent study from Spain showed one green job required a half million dollars in subsidies.

2 million green jobs would require a trillion dollars in subsidies paid from taxes which would destroy far more jobs.

#6 increased drought
more heavy downpours and flooding

Uh.......

#7 Let's see:
increased drought would be offset by
more heavy downpours and flooding;
then more frequent and intense heat waves and wildfires would be put out by
greater sea level rise;
wait adamminit! Are they picking and choosing out of Revelations? Where's the earthquakes and hail hellfire? Wotta buncha maroons!

#8 clearly the accumulation of greenhouse gases attracts life-killing asteroids like flies to poop. It's Consensusy™!. It's Science™!1!!

Deny and you won't like the Re-education Camps, Comrades

#9 Your comments truly phrase the reality of this report, that was literally filtered in press 'rewrites'. It's ridiculous from every perspective, seemingly written by a staff assistant rather than ANYONE of intelligent cloth (scientist or otherwise).
We've all heard about the THOUSANDS of scientists that object to these sort of findings...

Let's hope that the manipulation of the press by releasing this report late on a Friday while everyone was still talking about the tea parties & the DHS report (even Drudge isn't carrying this) doesn't dampen the public's reaction.

Smoke & mirrors. Everytime Zero's got an agenda, they do something to distract and pull something like this off to the side. We should all be more aware of this tactic.

#10 Since when has there been many real scientist at the EPA? The vast majority of them are more politicians then scientists.

#11 The proposed endangerment finding now enters the public comment period, which is the next step in the deliberative process EPA must undertake before issuing final findings.

So where can I comment?

#12 As an actual scientist ('Chemist' isn't just my posting name, I actually am one - B.Sc. and Ph.D.), I am utterly horrified by what 'experts' try to pass off as 'science'.

#14 and to add to Chemist...As one with advanced degrees in physics and meteorology (and computer science for that matter), I totally reject AGW "theory"...as do a large number of my colleagues. In 3 to 5 years this whole discussion will be moot. The Arctic ice pack will become well above the 30 year average, global temperatures will continue the general downtrend, and mother nature will have the last laugh at the AGW crowd's expense.

#15 Then to complete the cycle, global cooling and disco will be in fashion again.

#20 Remember that a cardinal rule of MMGW is that it has *no* negative case. That is, nothing exists or can exist that is evidence that MMGW isn't happening.

Therefore, if the Earth is warming up, it is because of MMGW; but if the Earth is cooling down, it is because of MMGW. I actually mean this literally. What they call "climate" is so divorced from reality that it only exists in their models.

And they feel free to adjust their models as needed to verify their "science" proves MMGW.

In other words, MMGW is indistinguishable from magic.

It's a dry rain, Parabellum.

#22 It should be quite entertaining when the world cools enough to interfere with the growing period at the edges of arable lands. Just a day or two should be enough for crops to start failing, or at least yield less than normal.

Wonder how these clowns will blame Bush for that?

And how much they'll raise our taxes in response to worldwide food shortages?

Pitchfork. Tar. Feathers. Some assembly required. >:-(

#23 #11 Bobby:

"Got something to say about the EPA’s finding that greenhouse gases are a threat to public health and welfare? You’ve got 60 days to speak, or forever hold your peace.

Here’s how to submit written comments:

Email: GHG-Endangerment-Docket@epa.gov
Fax: 202.566.1741
Snail mail:
Environmental Protection Agency
EPA Docket Center (EPA/DC)
Mailcode 6102T
Attention Docket ID No. EPA-HQ-OAR-2009-0171
1200 Pennsylvania Avenue NW
Washington, DC, 20460
In person:
EPA Docket Center’s Public Reading Room

There will also be two public hearings on the finding next month, one on each coast:

May 18 in Arlington, Va., at the EPA’s Potomac Yard Conference Center

May 21 in Seattle, Wash., at the Bell Harbor International Conference Center"

It's from a source I don't know, but it looks right.

Have at it.
