Let California change their laws. When it becomes too expensive to follow them, businesses will leave the state and go to other ones or more likely, other countries.

The EPA should be disbanned. There never should have been anything like the EPA in the first place. Ralph Nader will burn in HELL for what he has done to the American people. The 2 greatest things man ever invented are in automobiles: internal combustion engine and climate control!

What really smokes me is when people like Greensky1 point to websites that are controlled by Oil lobbying interests.

Steven J. Milloy is a columnist for Fox News and a paid advocate for Phillip Morris, ExxonMobil and other corporations.

Milloy has spent much of his life as a lobbyist for major corporations and trade organisations which have poisioning or polluting problems. He originally ran NEPI (National Environmental Policy Institute) which was founded by Republican Rep Don Ritter (who tried to get tobacco industry funding) using oil and gas industry funding. NEPI was dedicated to transforming both the EPA and the FDA, and challenging the cost of Superfund toxic cleanups by these large corporations.

So let''s get real here and stop the phony strawman tactics. Some of us aren''t really quite as stupid as the the Corporate *** Steve Milloy''s of the world would have you think.

I can''t believe someone has actually cited the "junkscience.com" website as a legitimate source of science on global warming. People will seemingly believe anything they read if it supports their predetermined opinions. Consider the source: Steven Milloy, the brains behind that site, is a paid lobbyist and PR shill for Phillip Morris and Exxon, both of whom have vested interests in creating a false "dispute" as to the science involved. Interestingly, Milloy is not a scientist and has no academic credentials as such, but holds himself out as such regularly. Check him out on sourcewatch.org if you really want to know if he''s a reliable source of information. Confident in your info now? Or are you still content to be a head-in-the-sand "conservative"?

Now Gov Moonbeam is the state''s AG. Heaven help CA. Why is it the states doing the suing have all the emission problems. The midwest has solved their emission problems by growing their fuel- ethanol; California doesn''t. Infact former CA Attorney General sued to keep ethanol fuel, a clean emission fuel that reduces greenhouse gases, out of CA. It''s time the 8 billion gallons of clean burning ethanol fuel produced in the corn belt was purchased by fellow states to reduce their own emissions that they complain about.

Uh, according to government-sponsored scientists who depend on climate study grants to pay their mortgages, we have a crisis. Huh???

Gotta name for you: Dr. Robert Statler (''nuff said)

In order to meet California''s proposed requirements, cars will be made smaller and lighter. Can''t fight the laws of physics, folks.

Commercial vehicles will remain the sams size, however. More people will die horible, flaming deaths trapped in their little bitty Califirnia-spec cars. (physics again) This will not happen 50 years from now, or even 5 years from now. It will begin happening the day after fools start buying those cars (will anyone buy them?).

Real people, real deaths. How many people have died of global warming?

Oh, and when it happens, it''ll be George Bush''s fault.

..and China is opening two coal-fired power plants a week....

Too bad humans aren''t causing global warming. I hate it when people talk about it like it''s real.
Go to
http://junkscience.com/
and talk the challenge that they have proposed. If you really think that humans are cauing global warming and you can prove it, they will give you over $100,000.
Me, I think humans aren''t causing it at all.

Another Ice Age?

Global Warming... Global Cooling... it is all just junk science. It is not that hard to understand... The earth actually goes through cycles in the climate.
