		<description>Dale --- You could bother to actually learn something about climatology:

instead of simply repeating the drivel someone fed you.

But you won&#039;t, will you?</description>

		<description>The judge must be a lieberal . . . running on feelings . . . . CO2 has never been declared a pollutant . . . only in her feelbe mind . . . . 

The real facts . . . . 
If anything is untenable, however, it is Judge Moore’s misreading of the Supreme Court’s decision. The Court did not, in fact, rule that CO2 was an air pollutant that must be regulated under the Clean Air Act.
The Court wrote that, “we hold that EPA has the statutory authority to regulate the emission of [greenhouse] gases from new motor vehicles.”
So the Court only ruled that the EPA may regulate CO2, not that CO2 is an “air pollutant” for purposes of the Clean Air Act.
Although the 5-4, Justice Stevens-penned decision bloviated a great deal about carbon dioxide causing global warming, in legal parlance this is known as “dicta,” a sort of judicial editorializing. The Court’s decision and legal significance was strictly limited to the majority’s disapproval of the EPA’s process for declining to regulate CO2.
“In short, EPA has offered no reasoned explanation for its refusal to decide whether greenhouse gases cause or contribute to climate change. Its action was therefore ‘arbitrary, capricious… otherwise not in accordance with the law… We need not and do not reach the question whether on remand the EPA must make an endangerment funding… We only hold that EPA must ground its reasons for action or inaction in the statute,” the Court concluded.
Judge Moore, unfortunately, based her decision on the Court’s non-legally binding musings about CO2 rather than the Court’s actual ruling.
Building on her gross misapplication of the law, Judge Moore went on to essentially impose an impossible-to-meet technology standard on the proposed plant.

Fact is the Judge is making it up as she goes along . . . GW, which has now become climate change, or weather is turning out to be the biggest fraud since the Ice Age scare in 1975. Then of course there was global warming in 1932 and another ice age at the turn of the 20th century. We have all seen this movie before, it is about extracting wealth from our pockets . . . nothing more!!!</description>

		<description>Peak Oil???   SO NUTS . . . known oil reserves 1975 - 250 Billion Barrels.
Known oil reserves today . . . July 4/08 . . . 1.2 Trillion Barrels.
20 Years from now oil and natural gas will still be the mail motivator of automobiles and heater of homes.
CO2 - a non toxic, invisible and rare .03% of the atmosphere gas. A minor greenhouse gas, water vapout being 98% of greenhouse gasses. Why don&#039;t we control water vapour?
There is no science . . . or you would have presented it!!! Computer models are nonsense . . . . garbage in - garbage out!! See Hansen . . . wrong 20 years ago . . . wrong today!!!
CO2 is .380 ppm . . . . when the dinosaures lived it was 7 to 8 thousand ppm. If CO2 doubled nothing would happen . . . except plants would grow faster . . . 
Most of the talking points of the GW nuts are lies . . . the Maliaria thing, the melting Antartic (gained 780,000 sq. kms. of ice last year), the polar bears have trippled in population the last 30 years. Al Bore is a fake, divinity school dropout, making millions selling carbon credits.
Jacque Chirac was right when he said right after Kyoto, &quot;Kyoto is the first step to Global Governance&quot;.</description>

		<description>This is the kind of action we want to see in Australia too. That&#039;s why this morning 27 Greenpeace activists locked down Australia&#039;s most polluting coal-fired power station.

		<description>David B:

FreeRepublic-ers. FReep.

Pierce asserts:

&lt;i&gt;come to super natural, beautiful British Columbia. “The Best Place on Earth!” &lt;/i&gt;

Indeed. Two autumns ago I did an extended backpacking trip in Cathedral Prov&#039;l Park. Lovely and the larch were in full color. 

On the drive to and from Burnaby we got to enjoy the millions of hectares of beetle-killed trees and the bleak landscape upon which they used to stand. Beetle-kill exacerbated by man-made climate change and fire suppression, of course. 

And the trees - wasted as the US complained about BC &quot;flooding the market&quot; with lumber. Now they are in the Colo Front Range and high country, and many forest scientists are saying the lodgepole will be gone within a decade, and Engelmann spruce following. Hopefully your country is more enlightened than ours wrt use of wood (I know I&#039;ve got some blue stain cabinetry making in my future).

Anyway, man-made climate change will have many consequences, some of them may be making hydro less useful from the increased siltation caused by dead forests.

Best,

		<description>Tony G says:

&quot;I’m all for moving to the next power source,..&quot;

What new power sources? The only new power source to come about in recent times are nukes. To run modern cities, you need immense amounts of power generated nearby and at high densities. Unless you want to spend mega bucks on transmission lines as we do here in BC.

Most all of power in BC is hydro yet about 80% of the people live in lower portion of the province. Get out a map of NA and count all the hydro dams on the Columbia and in the interior of BC. There is also an aluminium smelter in Kitimat where there is a large private hydro system for power.

If you want to live electrical-power sin free, come to super natural, beautiful British Columbia. &quot;The Best Place on Earth!&quot;

Until the really stupid gov placed carbon sin taxes on all the evil fossil fuels. Even on propane used for BBQ&#039;s! Good Grief! Do these guys have a &quot;Death Wish&quot; or what?

There is more CO2 pouring out the natural enviroment from dead and dying vegetation and animals than will be ever be produced by a mere 4 million humans.</description>
