re: #440 Pythagoras

“Natural” means nothing; lots of honest pollutants (e.g., wood smoke) are natural.

I think the EPA is off the rails on this one. They have thrown the dictionary away and made up a new definition of pollutant. If they don’t have to conform to the dictionary, they can ban handguns as pollutants too. It is not the EPA’s job to rule on global warming. The lack of logic in what they did is stunning.

That’s silly, and it’s not even true. The EPA did not classify CO2 as a “pollutant” — they ruled that greenhouse gases are a threat to public health.

They ARE. The amount of denial you have to sustain to try to pretend otherwise is prodigious.
