This article raises the well-known and popular “straw-man” argument. It attacks a point that is not the issue at the center of the controversy. The issue is not whether there is “climate change”, but whether is man-made.

The article pretends that there aren’t any scientists believing that climate change is not man-made There are so many in fact, especially among geologists, that when quoting so-called consensus, the climate-change believers now qualify the so-called consensus with the phrase: “among those involved in actual research” (read -those receiving funding to justify it!)

The article also suggests that Republicans did not produce a peer-reviewed report because there isn’t any that will show climate change may not be man-made. In fact, there are hundreds. The most notable are the ones that look at the Earth’s history beyond the last 150 years. Anybody looking at these can see without any science background whatsoever that the Earth’s temperature has been many degrees higher that it is today at a time when there were no man-made sources of greenhouse emissions!

Also, with regards to the quote:
“The Obama administration has set the stage for GHG rules that don’t need Congressional approval.”
That’s news to me.

Question: Since all legislation must originate in the House, exactly where in the Constitution does the executive branch (the EPA) get the authority to enforce rules that were not made pursuant to Congressional legislation?
Answer: Nowhere!

Since H2O is the most abundant greenhouse gas, (in the form of water vapor) then are we to conclude that the EPA can regulate and tax all water (even in our bodies)?

Are we then to conclude that the government could tax me for breathing (after all, I exhale a pollutant?) Perhaps people with bigger lungs should pay a larger tax, for their contribution to the overall greenhouse gases?

Insane? No doubt!
