US environment agency deems CO2 a health risk

I'm telling you, the government will tax us for breathing out C02. Who were the scientist hacks that the government contracted for the study? Carbon dioxide is part of many natural cycles it is not a pollutant. There is no scientific evidence that proves C02 is a pollutant. NONE! AFP

WASHINGTON (AFP) — The US Environmental Protection Agency has shifted course by deeming carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases a health risk, in a landmark turnaround that could impact climate change regulation.

"After a thorough scientific review ordered in 2007 by the US Supreme Court, the Environmental Protection Agency issued a proposed finding ... that greenhouse gases contribute to air pollution that may endanger public health or welfare," said an EPA statement posted on its website on Friday.[...]

This finding confirms that greenhouse gas pollution is a serious problem now and for future generations. Fortunately, it follows President (Barack) Obama's call for a low carbon economy and strong leadership in Congress on clean energy and climate legislation," said EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson.

"This pollution problem has a solution -- one that will create millions of green jobs and end our country's dependence on foreign oil.
