EPA Says Not So Fast

The EPA has delayed a decision as to whether it should regulate carbon dioxide and other greenhouse emissions, saying that it should not be rushed into a hasty decision regardless of what the Supreme Court says.

Predictably, Democrats were outraged. The most ironic response comes from Barbara Boxer (D-CA): "Time is not on our side
when it comes to avoiding dangerous climate change." Ok, the planet has been around for eons, the temperature may have risen 1/2 degree over the past 100 years and yet we are supposed to think that any delayed action for a few months (or even years) is supposed to be the doom of us all?

I guess the only downside of the EPA not regulating carbon dioxide emissions is that there is no limit on the hot air that Congressional Democrats can spew.
