U.S. EPA to move on emissions as Congress stalls

Anyone want to cheer for an authoritarian type of government? After all the EPA made a first move to bypass Congress, and to allow President Obama to concende to the Socialist elites who want a One World Government.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency will formally declare that greenhouse gases endanger human health on Monday, allowing President Barack Obama to show his commitment to act as a major climate change summit opened in Copenhagen.

The ruling by the EPA, which was widely expected after it issued a preliminary finding earlier this year, will allow the agency to regulate planet-warming gases even without legislation in the U.S. Congress.

It will also inject some optimism into the two-week global meeting on controlling climate change in the Danish capital.

Business groups said the move, which could allow regulation of gases from vehicle tailpipes or smokestacks, would hurt the economy and jobs just as the country is emerging from a deep recession.

They say the regulatory route could be even more damaging than legislation, mainly because they have less influence over the EPA than over Congress.

But U.S. Energy Secretary Steven Chu said the decision would ultimately benefit American industry.

"We will live in a carbon-constrained cooperative world," Chu told CNBC. "And the United States has the ability to lead in creating these new technologies that can give us the energy we need with the low carbon emissions, or we can follow. If we lead, that will add to our economic prosperity."

"We will live in a CARBON constrained COOPERATIVE world"... Which is the one factor he is emphasizing on?... is it all the other real toxic gases which are the REAL pollution?... no He talks about CARBON...

Well this is a CARBON WORLD and all life is CARBON based, so it is a nice excuse to tax anything, and everything we do, and to control us the little guys, and gals.

Who needs Congress right?.. Who needs the entire electroral pocess anyways? After all the Socialist Elites think that we shouldn't have any choice in the matter.

Yet, we should be working on fixing the economy, instead the EPA, and the Obama administration seem to be intent on destroying the U.S. economy completely.

Maybe that is what they need so when more Americans become poorer we will have no other choice than to accept the "Global Governance" that Lord Monckton and others have been saying are the reason for the "let's combat Climate Change" summit.

I heard part of the Copenhagen meeting. The Socialist elites TRIED to dismiss the leaked emails, and of course they don't mention that a week or so after the leaked emails came out the CRU told the world they "dumped the raw data to make space".....

It should be obvious the IPCC policymakers which includes Michael Mann, Jones et al, wanted to cover their behinds hence the data was dumped.
