Wyoming’s Governor and Both US Senators are applauding a US Supreme Court Ruling stating the US Environmental Protection Agency overstepped its bounds when it attempted to control greenhouse gas emissions.
In a 6-to-3 vote in the case of West Virginia vs. the EPA, the court ruled that when the Clean Air Act was passed in 2015, the then Republican controlled Congress did not provide clear enough direction in its delegation of authority to the EPA, in order for the agency to regulate greenhouse gas emissions.
Wyoming Governor Mark Gordon says the ruling is a clean win for Wyoming and the state joined the lawsuit to protect its own coal-fired plants from federal overreach intent only on curtailing coal-fired electric generation.
Republican US Senator John Barasso says Democrats have used over-reaching EPA regulations to side-step Congress and the American people to enact their own extreme climate agenda.
Republican US Senator Cynthia Lummis says domestic energy production has been under constant attack by both the Biden and Obama Administrations, and she was glad the Supreme Court ruled the _Clean Air Act_ does not give the EPA the power to decide unilaterally what fuels power plants can and cannot use.

And now would be a wonderful time to take advantage of this opportunity to organize a genuine scientifc debate on the entire presmise of CO2 as a dangerous gas causing “global climate change.” Sadly, our politicians are too busy campaigning and fund raising to take the time or make the effort to organize a national, perhaps congressionally sponsored, genuine debate featuring scientists pro and con. It’ long past time to put this hypothesis under the microscope and examine some evidence!

Exxon’s own scientists warned the company in the 1970’s of the effect of CO2 and global warming. Exxon spiked the research and began a disinformation campaign to counter the facts being presented in Kyoto fearing the truth would be bad for company profits. In 2015 the original research became public and Exxon apologized for their earlier behavior and now admits that Global Warming is man caused. The entire report is readily and actually makes for some interesting reading

Non believers rejoice as the flat earthers will never be convinced about climate change. When sane humans return to the caves to exist after the rest of ignorant society has vanished…the facts will be realized.
