Excerpt:
"Imagine unbridled government control of all tailpipe emissions under CAA section 202(a) and myriad building permits under section 165 on top of a utility hobbling carbon cap-and-trade system. Do huge Title VI-like individual fines imposed for tossing a steak on the backyard barbecue seem that far-fetched?
Remember, there exists no greater oxymoron than 'satisfied environmentalist.' When was the last time any E.P.A regulation amounted to more than a 'good start' among the green group-mindset?

And then there's this to consider -- the polar bear is now listed as threatened by 'global warming' under the Endangered Species Act. So if CO2 were listed as an airborne pollutant contributing to such warming, how long do you suppose it might be before that family barbequer found himself subject to hefty fines not only for polluting, but also for thereby endangering the polar bear?
What might await us at the foot of this slippery slope, perhaps 'permission to exhale' requisition forms?
And all predicated not on evidence that CO2 influences climate (none such exists) but rather the viral progression of one man's insistence that it does.
With green believers ruling both the Executive and Legislative branches, and a Judicial majority voting sympathetically alongside them in April of 2007, these words from (MIT's Richard) Lindzen just one month prior have never rung more foreboding:
'Controlling carbon is a bureaucrat's dream. If you control carbon, you control life.'"
