In April 2007, the Supreme Court overruled the EPA and established that greenhouse gas emissions are clearly covered by the Clean Air Act. A first step to regulation is a finding that global warming pollution "endangers public health or welfare."

CDC's original testimony clearly would have supported an endangerment finding -- and that's why the White House tried to suppress it. Fortunately, thanks to the free press and the work of congressional committees, the CDC's concerns were made known.

The head of the Environmental Protection Agency told the White House in December that high levels of manmade heat-trapping gases are causing global warming and endanger the American people, Sen. Barbara Boxer said Thursday after she reviewed the EPA finding, which has not been made public.

The Supreme Court ruled last year that if the EPA administrator finds greenhouse gases endanger the public, then the government must regulate them - a move the Bush administration opposes.

"This is the strongest language I have ever seen or that you have ever seen, and they are trying to lock it away," said Boxer, D-Calif., who took notes on the document and shared them with reporters. "The document belongs in the hands of the American people."

Boxer said the key excerpt was: "In sum, the administrator is proposing to find that elevated levels of greenhouse gas concentrations may reasonably be anticipated to endanger public welfare ....

    When you are freezing in your house, and can't afford the gas, or heating oil. Thank Boxer.

    Do you really think that the average Joe, like you and me are not going to pay for these Carbon Credits?

    While we are paying our Carbon Credits, China, and India will be burning carbon like there is no tomorrow.

    Who will we buy the carbon credits from? Third world dictators, who country is so suppressed, that they can afford anything.

    This reminds me of the 70's and Jimmy Carter. Only in the 70's we had a manufacturing base to pull us out of a recession.

    This current recession is going to turn into a depression, because we have no manufacturing base to pull us out of a recession, and the carbon credits tax on energy.

    Its called individual responsibility Mo1y. Withholding any news concerning public health has consequences. Allowing corporations to feed off the well being of the public is not acceptable. If you dont like the cold move south or learn how to adapt. Get used to the idea that things will change and we will all need to make sacrifices.
    Boxer rocks!

    Boxer is a Far left Democratic, not crazy. As the Chairman for environment and public works its her duty to inform the public and subcommittee on clean air, global warming and environmental health..yada yada yada.... Tgarius obviously has nothing to do but blow hot air cause he is an unsatisfied individual.
