Memo to the Supreme Court: Clean Air Act targeted CO2 as climate pollutant, study says | Ars Technica
thumbnail

A forthcoming study seeks to inform how courts consider challenges to these regulations by establishing once and for all that the lawmakers who shaped the Clean Air Act in 1970 knew scientists considered carbon dioxide an air pollutant, and that these elected officials were intent on limiting its emissions.

The research, expected to be published next week in the journal Ecology Law Quarterly, delves deep into congressional archives to uncover what it calls a “wide-ranging and largely forgotten conversation between leading scientists, high-level administrators at federal agencies, members of Congress” and senior staff under Presidents Lyndon Johnson and Richard Nixon. That conversation detailed what had become the widely accepted science showing that carbon dioxide pollution from fossil fuels was accumulating in the atmosphere and would eventually warm the global climate. //

“The argument that the Clean Air Act for some reason should not include the regulation of greenhouse gases is simply wrong,” Burger said

The Biden administration wasted trillions of dollars on puffery like DEI, pronouns and the green new deal. The result was the worst inflation in US history using historic metrics.

You're telling me that the one area the Biden administration didn't want to spend money was Trump's Secret Service protection? Yeah, I can believe that. //

Consider this: If Trump had not run this time, the SS would have needed to protect some Republican nominee as well as protecting Trump as a former president, so the SS would have needed two security details. They should gave been able to afford to provide both those SS details to Trump. //

"We're not going to burn through our budget — all the extra overtime, all the extra travel, all these extra agents and resources — so that Trump can have all of these rallies every week,'"

I don’t see a problem here. Think of all the money they must be saving with both Biden and Harris hiding in the White House basement!😂

ORWELLIAN: Josh Shapiro Starts Disappearing His Pro-Israel Past to Appease the Hamas Simps – RedState
thumbnail

It's Orwellian, and a sign of just how far Democrats are willing to go to hold onto power. This should be a lesson to Jewish Americans. Despite past perceptions, Shapiro is no different than Bernie Sanders. He's not going to have your back when politics gets in the way. He's willing to throw Israel and Jews under the bus if it means winning the votes of rabid antisemites who chant things like "from the river to the sea." //

We now live in a post Judeo-Christian society where there are no absolutes of right and wrong. Lying and deception are now acceptable if they advance your cause. The dem party is just about completely infused with this thinking and some in the GOP are no better. Until we acknowledge that our Creator has standards of right and wrong (e.g. the Ten Commandments) which we should follow, we will continue to sink lower and wallow in our evil in a completely chaotic world...

The fact of the matter is that the most effective weapon the right has against Harris’ campaign is comprised of a 10-word question: “Can you name one thing she did as vice president?”
