GOP plans attacks on the EPA and climate scientists
Well,the opposite of progress is regress.



If the GOP wins control of the House next week, senior congressional Republicans plan to launch a blistering attack on the Obama administration's environmental policies, as well as on scientists who link air pollution to climate change.

The GOP's fire will be concentrated especially on the administration's efforts to use the Environmental Protection Agency's authority over air pollution to tighten emissions controls on coal, oil and other carbon fuels that scientists say contribute to global warming.

5. The cult of the Invisible Hand.
We must all revere the Invisible Hand and allow its will to be done on earth. All who doubt the Hand are socialist infidels!

2. Only The Guilty...
would keep preaching on the subject and try to erase the knowledge we have already acquired on this massive condition. Ask anyone with lung problems if the belching,spewing that enters the atmosphere is anything to worry about. If you look up at the sky through a yellow haze you know it's not good. Once again profits blind their eyes to what is going on and this "problem" has been in our news long before Obama ever thought of one day being president.

3. Yeah, got to put those uppity scientists in their place.
Using information to try to plan and avoid negative outcomes in the future is inherently communistic you know. :crazy:
