Congressman Bill Shuster: Hold Your Breath, CO2 is now hazardous to your health

Posted by Editor | (1) Comment

Congressman Bill Shuster released the following statement today after the EPA formally declared carbon dioxide a dangerous pollutant:

“Today’s move by the EPA naming carbon dioxide and five other gasses dangerous pollutants is a purely political move by the Obama Administration to save face on the eve of the Copenhagen summit and to counteract failing support for cap and trade in Congress.

In reality, the EPA finding is nothing more than a Trojan Horse that will completely bypass the legislative process by enacting cap and trade through a change in federal regulation. This is a costly decision that could easily cost the American people over $2 million in economic activity and kill millions of jobs every year not to mention $3,100 for each Pennsylvania family $3,100 in higher electricity costs.

The American people are facing a 10 percent unemployment rate and they are asking the President and Congress “where are the jobs?” My constituents do not want to trade away our future economic freedom to placate leftist European politicians on the issue of global warming, which in the midst of the climategate controversy, may not even be occurring.

It’s time for the Obama Administration and Congress to stop enabling the politicization of science and return to the realm of the practical like creating jobs and getting our economy growing again.”

    Obama and his EPA police ban conferences due to the high levels of toxic gas generated emitted from both ends of the spectrum.
    the EPA having decided that CO2 and METHANE are too TOXIC to humans have banned gatherings of more than 4 persons.
    To that end the Democratic process is banned due to the size of gatherings.
    In future all decisions will be taken by climate expert Obama and the director of the EPA.
    Holding Your Breath Makes Sense.
