Air Regulators Show No Letup

... In Their War On Emissions

by Michael Gardner - March 2nd, 2009 - San Diego Union-Tribune

California's air-quality regulators are on an accelerated schedule to adopt a series of global warming initiatives considered unmatched worldwide. Their aggressive push to reduce greenhouse gas emissions linked to global warming will eventually touch everyday life in both small and significant ways.

Just Thursday, the state Air Resources Board moved to regulate fluorinated gases commonly used by the Silicon Valley-centered semiconductor industry to make chips used in cell phones and computers.

A few weeks earlier, do-it-yourself mechanics were the target.

There are two facts of significance in this bureaucratic crusade. California has, with an aggressive cycle of new laws every decade since the 1960s, eliminated over 99% of the human created pollution within the state already. They are chasing a small part of 1% of the human caused emissions that are left. In addition, there is no PROOF that anything that they are doing will help in any way.

They deny that there is a huge scientific argument about anthropogenic global warming because they do NOT CARE whether it is true or not. They are on a quest for power. Not a quest to save the air. Air quality in California is such a minor issue today that in order to create a crisis they have repeatedly changed the rules. A critical air quality warning today was not originally even on their scale. Why did they change? Because otherwise air quality is so imporved there would no longer be warnings!

The real goal is a cap-and-trade system that will allow government to dictate all actions of all business, the socialist Utopian dream. Such a goal has been well published as the true goal of rabid environmentalists for years. It is only a secret from people who never read their literature.

The only thing that you need to remember is that CO2 is considered the worst pollutant and you are breathing out CO2 as you read this article. Considering how extremist these people have become, can you not see the day when who gets to live or die is regulated by them. How else can they stop you from breathing out this pollutant?

The truth is that CO2 is NOT a pollutant. It is a necessary component of life. Their labeling it a pollutant and "greenhouse gas" is a total and complete fraud.
