Texas Sues to Block Bizarre “Global Warming” Global Climate Disruption EPA Rules

Is what the post title should read, dang limitations of wordpress or maybe its my limited abilities…

Didn’t they get the memo that the government changed the name?

Another example of the federal governments nudging toward more control over states and citizens.

Not through the front door via legislation, but through back door regulation.  Always deception, when grabbing control…

Texas Sues to Block Bizarre “Global Warming” Global Climate Disruption EPA Rules

lawsuit says science behind ‘global warming’ claims is junk, discreditedBy Jim ForsythThursday, September 16, 2010   The state of Texas today sued the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency in a federal appeals court in Washington DC, claiming four new regulations imposed by the EPA are based on the ‘thoroughly discredited’ findings of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change and are ‘factually flawed,’ 1200 WOAI news reports.

Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott says the rules are illegal and if imposed, will cost Texans in higher energy costs and tens of thousands of lost jobs.

“The state explained that the IPCC, and therefore the EPA, relied on flawed science to conclude that greenhouse emissions endanger public health and welfare,” Abbott said.  “Because the Administration predicated its Endangerment Finding on the IPCC’s questionable facts, the state is seeking to prevent the EPA’s new rules, and the economic harm that will result from these regulations, from being imposed on Texas employers, workers, and enforcement agencies.”

The IPCC has become the target of criticism from other climate scientists, with numerous revelations of sloppy research, junk science, and allegations of cronyism, lack of transparency, and attempts to suppress contradictory opinions in the research which contributed to the IPCC’s 2007 findings.

“The IPCC had the objectivity, reliability, and propriety of its scientific assessments called into question after a scandal erupted late last year,” Abbott said.

One of the rules imposed by the EPA would extend clean air regulations to the tailpipes of personal cars and trucks, but Abbott says the pollutants which the EPA aims to restrict by this rule aren’t even found in internal combustion vehicles.

One of the rules, the so called ‘Tailoring Rule,’ would require that all Texas clean air regulations be ‘tailored’ to match federal rules by January 2, 2011, or the US EPA will impose it’s rules on Texas.
“Today’s court filings challenge the EPA’s attempts to ignore federal law, impose their federally mandated deadlines and force Texas to spend millions of dollars advancing the Administration’s regulatory agenda,” Abbott said.
