krg12171936 - LOL - yeah that's right - it's a terrible conspiracy by scientists and doctors working with the government against you having a Hummer in your driveway!!! what is it with you lot?? Do you actually believe that all the junk that comes from oil and gas and plastic is GOOD for the earth -- are you really this stupid or is your head to buried to see daylight??

This should have been a no-brainer ... a 9 - 0 vote.

Instead, it is obvious that we have 4 judges that have no brains.

At least Al Gore has evened his record with the supreme court and is now batting .500 ....

I think the whole business of global warming is a big bunch of bunk.
It's just another example of Govt. telling the american people what they can't do.
As for the Supreme Court it should be done away with.
A few making rediculous laws for the majority.

the reason bush doesn't want to do anything about greenhouse gases isn't only for the oil industry.

bush had some big monsy backers from the coal industry too and guess who plans to build (along with china and india) something like 800 new coal fired power plants?

why did bush appoint people like think tank lobbyists to the epa. that applies across the board too. bush mainly appointed to departmental regulatory positions the exact people who used to be regulated by them and supported either deregulating them or severely softening them.

why did they get a delay on enforcing mercury levels in the air til 2016? not to mention not even acknowledging some very nasty pollutants being exposed to your kids? but of course bush is the guy who came up with the 'clear skies' iniative. promising cleaner air, but in effect it's just another ploy.

the environment always suffers under republicans. look what reagan did with his special panel chaired by his VP. it's sole purpose was to enable business to bypass and ignore environmental regulations and laws.

We all (Every last one of us) better pray that the next two years go by quickly without serious incident. Personally, I have my doubts.

If America can't see that the oil industry is controlling our President after this one, then you all are blind.

Global warming is a serious problem. The level of CO2 continues to rise year after year. The level of CO2 has been correlated to global average temperatures reasonably well over the last 600,000 years. Global warming has been correlated to periodic mass extinctions over the eons on earth. The CO2 in these cases was provided by natural processes such as volcanic activity. It appeared to me that Al Gore greatly down-played the consequences of global warming because he wanted to provide a message of hope rather than hysteria. Some initial features of the extinction process have began to appear. The decreasing quality of our environment and the impending mass death of our descendants (if don't get emissions down) is an existence issue not a liberal issue. Of course, for religious conservatives, heaven is a better place anyway...oops! We found Jesus bones. What does that tell you about resurrection and heaven?

"The court's four conservative justices %u2014 Chief Justice John Roberts and Justices Samuel Alito, Antonin Scalia and Clarence Thomas %u2014 dissented."

These four are outrageous! Venal and brain-dead. At least GW has to leave in two years. We're stuck with these political hacks for a long time.

[l8c6]

The four right wing appointed justices dissented. No true blue american can rest in complacency. The forces claiming love of the flag will continue to assault through deception. Something to read and think about-----http://www.commondreams.org/views06/0530-20.htm

George W.Trashcan deserved to be rebuked by the Supreme Court just as the American voters rebuked the Trashcan(Republician) party at the last election.
