Climate Change Grafters Push for More Regulations

Barack Obama’s cadre of totalitarians and political grafters has released a dire climate change report.  It’s all doom and gloom. The world is going to hell in a hand basket, because Americans are a bunch of selfish, energy loving people who enjoy toilet paper, indoor plumbing, central air, and the ability to drive a car to work.

Obama’s leading henchman is paving the way for a Venezuelan-esque economy:

Podesta told reporters during a briefing at the White House that President Obama is committed to moving forward with controversial Clean Air Act regulations to cut carbon dioxide emissions for all new coal and gas-fired power plants. 

Republicans have branded the president's climate plan as a "war on coal" and have sponsored legislation to roll back planned Environmental Protection Agency greenhouse gas standards they arguer the Clean Air Act. All I would say is that those have zero percent chance of working. We're committed t will harm the nation's economy. 

"They'll find various ways, particularly in the House, to try to stop us from using the authority we have undeo moving forward with those rules," Podesta said. 

The report also comes as the administration delays a decision on the controversial Canada-to-Texas Keystone pipeline. Environmentalists oppose it, but Republicans and some Democrats are pressuring the administration to approve it. 

The climate report looked at regional and state-level effects of global warming, compared with recent reports from the United Nations that lumped all of North America together. A draft of the report was released in January 2013, but this version has been reviewed by more scientists, the National Academy of Science and 13 government agencies and had public comment.

Every principle involved in this report has a vested interest in passing this fraud and it has nothing to do with global warming.  These scoundrels have been fleecing the American taxpayers far too long.

EPA Demands Billions for Army of Bureaucrats

The Environmental Protection Agency is demanding $21 billion from the American Taxpayer, so they can hire 230,000 bureaucrats. They need this army of authoritarians in order to enslave us in their lair of red tape:

The EPA aims to regulate greenhouse gas emissions through the Clean Air Act, even though the law doesn’t give the EPA explicit power to do so. The agency’s authority to move forward is being challenged in court by petitioners who argue that such a decision should be left for Congress to make.

The proposed regulations would set greenhouse gas emission thresholds above which businesses must file for an EPA permit and complete extra paperwork in order to continue operating. If the EPA wins its court battle and fully rolls out the greenhouse gas regulations, the number of businesses forced into this regulatory regime would grow tremendously — from approximately 14,000 now to as many as 6.1 million.

These new regulatory efforts are not likely to succeed, the EPA admits, but it has decided to move forward regardless. “While EPA acknowledges that come 2016, the administrative burdens may still be so great that compliance … may still be absurd or impossible to administer at that time, that does not mean that the Agency is not moving toward the statutory thresholds,” the EPA wrote in a September 16 court briefing.

Aren’t these people the most arrogant bunch of bastards you’ve ever seen? When are we going to wake up and abolish this rogue agency?
