“An EPA finding last month that greenhouse gases are a danger to public health rests on dubious assumptions and could have negative economic impacts, a memo from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) warned.<\/em><\/p>\n

The memo has no listed author but is marked “Deliberative-Attorney Client Privilege.” A spokesman for OMB told Dow Jones Newswires that the brief is a “conglomeration of counsel we’ve received from various agencies” about the EPA finding, the conclusions of which would trigger regulation of greenhouse gases under the Clean Air Act.<\/em><\/p>\n

The author(s) of the memo suggest the EPA did not thoroughly examine the relationship between greenhouse gases and human health.<\/em><\/p>\n

“In the absence of a strong statement of the standards being applied in this decision, there is concern that EPA is making a finding based on…’harm’ from substances that have no demonstrated direct health effects<\/strong>,” the memo says, adding that the “scientific data that purports to conclusively establish” that link was from outside EPA.”<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

If there is no danger from Carbon Dioxide, why regulate it or tax it?  Please follow the link to the entire article.  There is a video and a chart to add to the discussion!!<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
