  I personally am sick to death of the finger pointing by both parties. The political system is broken it is not majority rules it is not the veiews of one party or another it is greed all the way around for both parties and has been this way for years now just do what is best for American people for once. This needs to stop and the government needs to listen to the people. Now that being said lets look at this global warming as a laymen, who do you believe both parties have their own agenda on this. If the Cap and Trade passes this will end up in court eventually and finally the science behind these decisions will be known whether this is a real dilemma which will help start to save the planet or this has been false to create just more revenue for the government and drive our industrial base further away. We as Americans just are not sure what the effects will be doing something or doing nothing both scientific veiws make valid points. But as I said earlier the dollars need to be taken out of any decision that is made if you want the people to follow. We must remember as well any taxation on American companies that other countries dont have, makes it difficult to compete which in turn will drive even more business away from our shores and not help us recover from the industrial teardown that has taken 30 or more years to create by both political parties. Stop your silly political posturing/revenue building and do something for the people for once I think we have earned at least that alittle honesty should would be nice for once.

  When does she plan on releasing the EPA's report that reflects that global warming is a scam.I thought barak said he wanted science not politics to be the foundation for EPA

  Our prior, laisez-faire Administration denied existence of the environmental crisis and opposed or eliminated most regulations protecting the public interest - all in the name of economic growth - yet they passed down the worst economic downturn since the Great Depression. Now that President Obama is fostering Green business enterprises, some global warming deniers worry about the economy. Does that make any sense?

  Appears to be the perfect Obama puppet to try and push through "climate change". Together they will destroy the economy and tax the American people to death with their follies.

  To the "me" commentor: it's likely because this report doesn't exist. There aren't credible scientists who believe that the addition of billions of tons of carbon to our atmosphere and oceans hasn't caused a change. The CONSERVATIVE supreme court found in that these carbon emissions are a real threat to our health and gave the EPA the right to regulate "green house gasses" (more than just carbon dioxide). Now, granted, this won't happen - Congress doesn't want that power to reside in the Agency's power so they've been forced (by fear of losing control) to FINALLY do something to regulate and restrict emissions. The whole thing is a little dysfunctional at best, but it's a great demonstration of the three branches of government!

  The EPA will become another political tool for the Obama oligarchy. They will embrace the "scientists" that agree with "climate change" theories, and reject the growing body of climatologists, meteorologists and scientists that disagree. All reports that contradict Obama's agenda will be supressed. The Scientific Method will be shelved because it will not fit into the master plan.

  I find it interesting that she did not comment on the recently held-back EPA report that basically states that man-made global warming (er, "climate change") is NOT a fact.
