Heliogenic Climate Change: Congress must remove EPA's jurisdiction to regulate greenhouse gasses
This is an issue too important to be decided by lawyers on the Supreme Court or bureaucrats at EPA. The U.S. is a democracy, at least on paper. Only Congress, elected by the people, has the moral authority to decide the issue. Congress should immediately remove EPA's jurisdiction to regulate greenhouse gasses. It would be an act of utter cowardice for Congress to abdicate its sworn responsibility and let bureaucrats decide the issue. Then let the debate begin, let the people, through their elected representatives, decide whether to commit economic suicide or not. Even Europe isn't leaving this issue to bureaucrats. The goal of politicians is to get re-elected. They will listen or they will lose.Obama's not sufficiently CO2-hysteric for this guy
I'm sorry to say, Obama has, on the whole, dropped the ball on climate change; he's not anti-science or anti-environment, but he's failing a big test here. I've wallowed in the pleasure of anticipating leadership from a basically serious person with his heart in the right place up to now, like the rest of us, but I am declaring the honeymoon over. From now on he needs to start saying what we need to hear on the biggest issue of the next couple of decades. "Better than Bush" encompasses a range from A down to D-, and on the environment, we need A- leadership, not a Band-Aid or a headpat. And we especially don't need enabling of a catastrophic carbon addiction, whether implicit or explicit.
All together now, and you too, Barack:
No.More.Roads.
No.More.Parking.
No.More.Sprawl.
