Stephen Johnson, the administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency, has now acknowledged that, “the warming of the climate is unequivocal,” in statements related to the denial of California’s stricter rules for the reduction of emissions. The administration’s argument is that climate change endangers everyone, and not just California.
This position seems to portend that national policy and emission regulation will be forthcoming. The Bush administration has resisted such controls to date, even in the face of a Supreme Court decision that ruled carbon dioxide as a pollutant subject to regulatory control.

Great….we have nitwits in leadership positions.
So, I guess, since the Supreme Court has ruled CO2 is a pollutant and can be regulated. When will they decide to regulate the amount of CO2 emitted out of human’s mouths? We might have to get rid of sporting events. We don’t want people exhaling more than their fair share!
Another way to control population growth and numbers? I can’t wait for the study which ties amounts of CO2 emitted to groups and sexes.
