Special Report - Environmental Bible published by USEPA
by Jerry Bannon
In order to have a viable religion you first need a holy book. I was too busy to realize that when writing about the Gegwcatsf (Pronounced Jeg-wa-catsf) Revival last week, that they already had a holy book written by the United States Environmental Protection Agency, with the appropriate unique title for such a document simply called a ANPR. The longer title is, “Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking: Regulating Greenhouse Gas Emissions under the Clean Air Act.”
Like many other Proposed Rules for the Federal Government it too was published on a midsummer Friday when it would not gain any scrutiny from anyone until much later. The only news I heard was that President Bush had issued the report and had not endorsed the proposed regulations. This was spun in the now too typical media way of inferring, “we all know the President is out of touch with everything and this is just another instance.”
These rules are to begin to take effect without any legislative approval 120 days after the publishing date. This of course is a week after we elect the new President. In the meantime all media attention will focus on the elections. Then with a new President these regulations will begin to destroy western civilization in a way no external terrorist could begin to imagine.
Why would, or could, this 589-page document end western civilization? Because of a 5-4 Supreme Court decision in Massachusetts v. EPA in 2006, found that greenhouse gases were pollutants and covered by the United States Clean Air Act.
These gases include not only, carbon dioxide, but also livestock flatulence and other methane sources, ozone, and water vapor, I could not find that definition within the report, but within the Supreme Court decision, it mentions only carbon dioxide by name as one of four such gases, which the EPA may regulate. However absence any other definition we cannot assume for now that these are the only gases that may be regulated.
A search of the ANRP lists other materials as greenhouse gases or aerosols, which may have “climatic effects” such as chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs) halons (which is any compound containing a halogen, such as chlorides, bromides and iodides), and black carbon.
Therefore it can be assumed that if it is found in the air and maybe caused by some type of human activity, it is a greenhouse gas. Interesting the biggest contributor to the greenhouse effect is water vapor, however compared to the world’s water vapor total, human activity is not considered significant by the report, at least for now.
The biggest problem I find in the whole concept is the definite loss of human freedom as these regulations become implemented. Arbitrary bureaucratic standards, based upon faulty presumptions, weak or fraudulent science, and simplistic mathematical models will quickly become the ruling laws of not just the United States, but the rest of western culture.
The financial cost of these regulations is really beyond calculation. Furthermore there really is not enough true wealth left in western culture to pay for these marginal measures, without the use of inflationary monetary policy.
The good news is since our Federal Reserve is now rapidly expanding the monetary supply, just to keep the sagging economy afloat, there will be no means with any degree of financial prudence, to fund the permitting, implementation, and monitoring of these regulations.
The bad news is, with the current liberal Congress and the possibility of an Obama Presidential administration, sound monetary policy really is not going to matter. While John McCain says he is more of a fiscal conservative, he also seems to be a convert to this global warming messianic religion. Therefore there seems to be no leadership potential to overcome this judicially imposed rule. This is not a republic or even a democracy. The future of the world may come down to one Supreme Court swing vote.
Now the really bad news is that there is really no opposition voice that can counter act this regulatory push. Currently the Republican’s are saying the Democrats will raise your taxes, but they offer nothing that can be remotely considered an alternative. Libertarians don’t want any plans or regulations period. That just is not going to happen.
So what can make a difference?
Real facts and litigation is the only lonely hope.
The science behind this global warming hysteria, which I would prefer to call a religion, is becoming more and more refuted every day. The new buzzwords will become the legal concept of arbitrary and capricious, simply because most of these standards are based on arbitrary and capricious science fiction.
I also believe that there is sufficient evidence to have global warming a declared religion. Hence under the provisions of separation of church and state, the federal, or any government cannot actively seek to promote that religion.
Not so simply put, if direct observational scientific data, absent a presupposing agenda and future procrastinations, in the form of simplistic and limited mathematical models, cannot demonstrate a true cause and effect, then global warming, or any other, atheistic agenda is by definition a religion of mankind, designed to bring about significant lifestyle changes of humanity.
These religious standards are now applied to Christianity and Judaism, and to a lesser extent to Islam and other worldly religions and movements. Contrary to the views of the Christian right, the founders of the United States, while many were devout Christians, realized that any specific religious dogma promoted by any government, was an anathema to all other religious views. That standard should again be the rule of law, recognizing the religious nature of the human species as one supreme and overriding natural law.
The time is now for freedom loving, acting, and believing Americans to petition the Government in all it’s forms for redress for grievances against the establishment of this global warming and all state religions.
The First Amendment of the United States Constitution pretty much codifies this natural law for all time:
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
