When you strip away the hyperbole and name calling, this is a decent story. The reporting is clearly from a point of view but is pretty well sourced.

Chilling example of another coldblooded move by the Bush administration to leave global warming regulation to the next administration, likely a Democratic one, so it can retain its deregulatory ideological purity. Although it could have provided more detail, this piece astutely reminds us that the EPA blocked California's attempt to limit CO2 emissions recently. The world suffers as a result. Will be interesting to see if the MSM pursues this story. Presumably it won't, which would provide yet another counterexample for all those who consider it to be liberal.

Well of course EPA chief Stephen Johnson delayed the bill by asking for public comment. Doesn't eveyone know that global warming and greenhouse gases are pseudo science and the greatest fraud ever perpetrated on the American people? Not to mention "profit stealers" for Big Business. That's why Bushies' special interest masters controlling government have demanded that actions be delayed until they can come up with some real strategy to kill the bill.

Putting aside the high emotional tone of this piece the facts remain. The EPA does not want to do its job even when the Supreme Court holds its feet to the fire. I can understand and relate to the emotions articulated.
