We've all seen the debate here and elsewhere as to whether or not "Green House Gases" in general and CO2 in particular are the man-made (anthropogenic) cause of global warming.
Well folks, I saw on the evening news tonight that the debate is now officially over! That's right the same kind of prize-winning government scientists that in the past at the CDC provided such monumental and life-changing discoveries such as the FACT that guns are actually a "virus" and that the "gun virus" is epidemic in the country killing untold tens of thousands of citizens, but this time "scientists" at the EPA have issued a final determination that global warming is not only real but that "green house gases", and especially CO2, are the FACTUAL cause.
It has never been more clear than this! Nevermind that the AGW polar exploration team nearly died of hypothermia and frostbite while searching for melting icebergs. Nevermind that CO2 has insufficent IR absorption to actually cause any climate change. Nevermind that Algore reversed the causality of sea temperature and dissolved CO2 claiming that CO2 increases triggered higher sea temperatures rather than higher sea temperatures driving off dissolved CO2. Nevermind all that crap. Those are OLD debates! And they are now ALL closed!
That's right, the question is now OVER for ALL ETERNITY! The EPA ruling triggers massive industrial powers for the Obama administration allowing them to shut down whole industries costing millions of jobs as well as taxing pollution (and profits) right out of existence! But have no fear, the estimated trillion and a half dollars to be extracted from the American people is but a pittance compared to eliminating the threat of "anthropogenic global warming". Just watch. Once all these measures are firmly in place check the average temperature rise on the planet and you will see that predicted massive increases in planetary temperature was averted and the all the dire predictions of doom were neatly avoided by this minor expenditure by the American People. God Bless 'em!
Of course the free enterprise bright spot in this scary picture is that the news also noted that GM finds bankruptcy inevitable now, which means that through good old free enterprise GM beat the government bureaucrats to the punch and put themselves out of business before the government could do it! Yep. Let's hear it for the American Way!
