FORBES: Obama EPA Issues Coal-Killing Rules To Cut Carbon Emissions 30 Percent

COMMENTARYConservative Republicans in Congress went bonkers when they heard this and are planning future legislation to block it. First off when do we reach the point of no return tipping point on global warming and become like the planet Venus?

The Earth's lungs are it's greenery. Earth's vegetation absorbs CO2 (green house gases). Someone may say well we'll just plant a bunch of trees if the Earth's climate reaches that tipping point. WRONG. Droughts and extended heating and bitter cold conditions would kill off the trees and other vegetation (including the food we eat). In short we'd be screwed. The time to act is now.

Others call bullshit on global warming (fools that they are). Climatologists aren't religious leaders. They aren't politicians. Neither are they invested in the fossil fuel industry. So why would anyone take the word of those who have selfishly everything to gain with their denials over scientific proof that says otherwise when it comes to the continued burning of fossil fuels?

Still there are other conservatives lashing out about how carbon reduction regulation will kill jobs. Hey jackass... how many ships today are hiring sail riggers? How many firemen are still shoveling coal down in the boiler rooms of cruise and cargo ships or on rail locomotives? None you say! Yeah they moved on to the next technology. That's how things work out. Should the USA have continued to stagnate while the world moved on just to save jobs? Wouldn't that be stupid!

Yeah I have empathy for coal miners, oil drillers and their families, but only an imbecile would encourage workers to risk their lives when it's no longer necessary. Only fools would place the value of gold over scientific progress and the perpetuation of the human race.

Hey I and my offspring got to live here too. Given the right balance, CO2 keeps us from cooking or freezing to death. This isn't a religious principle or a political belief.. it's scientific fact.

If the Earth were to get too cold we know that we could easily introduce to CO2 to the atmosphere (by burning fossil fuels) to avoid another ice age by trapping heat. However once Earth's climate goes too far the other way we can't simply plant vegetation to reverse droughts and extreme heat that would prevent plant growth.
