Ponderings of a Scientist

I hate blogging at work even if it only takes a few minutes.  Shouldn’t I be working on something job related?  I’m just going to suck it up and deal with this early morning guilt, because I heard something on NPR I can’t let pass.  So today the State of Mass. and many other’s are taking the EPA to court over carbon dioxide.  The EPA, that is the Environmental Protection Agency, is tasked with protecting us Americans against all chemicals that have a reasonable chance of being pollutants and causing harm to us, our land, water, weather, or climate.  However, the EPA does not regulate CO2 emmisions, why you might ask?  The short answer is because a former oil lobbyist heads the EPA (and every other seat in the administration); the slightly longer answer is such:  The EPA and G.W. do not find CO2 to be a pollutant, and even if it was there is not enough scientific evidence on how to solve the problem (which remember isn’t a problem) to write any EPA regulations.  How do they get away with this crap!

Back to Work!!!
