American Thinker Blog: Give a hoot - go ahead and pollute?
You just gotta love this headline over a story by Louise Gray in The Telegraph. It is sure to drive the unscientific environmentalists crazy.
"Global warming 'slowed by pollution
Pollution is protecting the world from climate change, according to two new studies."

The EPA’s decision on greenhouse gases provides a boost for gloomy greens
...
But the decision is not as momentous as it seems. It applies principally to emissions from motor vehicles, which are responsible for under a quarter of man-made carbon-dioxide in America. Attempts to extend it to other sources of greenhouse gases may prove more difficult and would almost certainly face challenges in court. And environmental cases tend to drag on and on. Massachusetts v EPA, the case that led to this decision, was filed six years ago; the Exxon Valdez case took 19 years.

Congress will hold hearings on the Environmental Protection Agency’s finding that carbon dioxide is “harmful” to everyone’s health and, as the by-product of all energy use, must be regulated with a “cap-and-trade” program that will require industries and businesses of every description to buy “carbon credits” in order to operate. Billions will flow into the government’s coffers and the price of everything will rise for consumers.

And it is all based on a lie called “global warming.” Carbon dioxide plays no role in so-called climate change. The climate is always in a state of change and the current one is a cooling, not warming of the planet.
