Looking inward at one's self is the best way for the EPA to find out what threatens Americans. Yes, the pollutant that stinks is the steaming entrails of the EPA itself. First, with the CO2 endangerment finding surprisingly coinciding with Obama's visit to the Copenhagen climate summit in December, obviously politically motivated and timed to bolster Obama's influence on the world stage (it did that, but worked about as well as a fashion malfunction on stage). Second, they pressed onward into the new year, even though every major premise of climate science was called into question by Climategate and other events around the same timeframe (just ram it through because Obama wanted it. Ram it through because you might have the votes. Ram it through quickly because support is evaporating faster than the glaciers).What is needed here is akin to a lawsuit. Not only should the EPA downsize by an amount equal to the size of the department that handles CO2 (is each department named a gas or what?), but there should be punitive damages as well, the EPA should downsize a lot more as punishment (departments of liquids and solids?). As further public humiliation, their initials, EPA should be changed to lowercase, epa. That might seem too harsh but why stop there?
The regulations they've put in place to date are mostly good. The fact that this agency is now a political game piece overreaching its authority tells us it's time for the last person to turn out the lights of the EPA on their way out. Hey, we have great regulations, we'll just go on enforcing them without the EPA from now on. They have, by their own actions, illustrated that they have outlived their usefulness. Click!
