EPA to lable CO2 health hazard.

[Guest guest]

This makes it plain and clear that the government has taken all leave of rationality in the name of power, control and looting productive business and middle class pocketbooks. They pass this and you can be sure costs across the board will shoot up along with the increase in energy costs. I'm pretty sure that many industries will also close, like steel mills, steel recycling mills, etc. Powerplants might close as well, which will mean less reliable power for everyone.

Remember, Obama himself said a year ago that passing this bill would cause energy bills to skyrocket.

It has nothing at all to do with fighting global warming and everything to do with allowing the well positioned few (like Al Gore) to loot vast fortunes and give the government power like it has never before dreamed. Combine it with nationalized health care and we won't have anything like an economy left.

EPA Set to Declare Carbon Dioxide a Public Danger

WSJ

The announcement would give Obama and his climate envoy negotiating leverage at a global climate summit starting next week in Copenhagen, Denmark.

WASHINGTON - The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency will early next week, possibly as soon as Monday, officially declare carbon dioxide a public danger, a trigger that could mean regulation for emitters across the economy, according to several people close to the matter.

Such an "endangerment" decision is necessary for the EPA to move ahead early next year with new emission standards for cars. EPA Administrator has said it could also mean large emitters such as power stations, cement kilns, crude-oil refineries and chemical plants would have to curb their greenhouse gas output.

The announcement would also give President Barack Obama and his climate envoy negotiating leverage at a global climate summit starting next week in Copenhagen, Denmark and increase pressure on Congress to pass a climate bill that would modify the price of polluting.

While environmentalists celebrate EPA's authority to regulate greenhouse gases, it has caused many large emitters to cringe at the potential costs of compliance.

According to a preliminary endangerment finding published in April, EPA scientists fear that man-made carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases are contributing to a warming of the global climate. Senior EPA officials said in November the agency would likely make a final decision in December around the time of the summit.
