Abu Wabu

Which makes sense since, for one thing, the Earth is cooling.

The OMB released a memo to the Obama administration under lawyer/client priviledge stating that carbon dioxide is not a pollutant and that there is in fact no proof that CO2 causes global warming, even though the EPA has been given authority by the Supreme Court to regulate it as a pollutant.

Money quote:

There is concern that the EPA is making a finding based on harm from substances that have no demonstrated, direct health effects such as respiratory or toxic effects. Making the decision to regulate carbon dioxide under the Clean Air Act for the first time is likely to have serious economic consequences for regulated entities throughout the economy, small business, small communities.

Now, this is just the latest thing that further puts paid to the whole global warming fabrication, but more than that it renders Obama's cap-and-trade plans a bald-faced scam. Which is not to say he won't go ahead with it anyway, if the rate at which he is remorselessly fucking future generations of Americans is any indication.

Again, this confidential memo comes straight from the supposedly historically transparent Obama White House; someone inside the Messiah's administration leaked it or let it get out somehow. It ended up in the hands of Republican Senator John Barrasso, who had some questions for EPA administrator Lisa Jackson, who is mentioned in every one of the memo's nine pages in the context of having ruled on CO2 purely for political gain rather than having anything to do with scientific integrity.

Wow. Liberals perpetuating a lie for political gain? Who would have guessed?

The Hill:

An EPA finding last month that greenhouse gasses are a danger to public health rests on dubious assumptions and could have negative economic impacts, a memo from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) warned.

The memo has no listed author but is marked “Deliberative–Attorney Client Privilege.” A spokesman for OMB told Dow Jones Newswires that the brief is a “conglomeration of counsel we’ve received from various agencies” about the EPA finding, the conclusions of which would trigger regulation of greenhouse gases under the Clean Air Act.

The author(s) of the memo suggest the EPA did not thoroughly examine the relationship between greenhouse gases and human health.

“In the absence of a strong statement of the standards being applied in this decision, there is concern that EPA is making a finding based on…’harm’ from substances that have no demonstrated direct health effects,” the memo says, adding that the “scientific data that purports to conclusively establish” that link was from outside EPA.

Even worse for the global warming crowd, the memo suggests that it if there was such a thing, it could be good for the planet, which I have long asserted myself. Proving that at least one U.S. government agency has someone working for it who could be almost as smart as I am.

Across the next two decades, annual job losses due to restrictions on CO2 emissions will exceed 800,000 in at least two years. Losses for most years will be more than 500,000.

That's more than Ten Million Jobs Lost To Obama in twenty years' time to just one of his policies.

No word yet on the number of unicorns Obama will have saved in the same period to offset that toll.
