| SC governor criticized for remarks about EPA rules, called 'misinformed' |
| 2014-06-08 |
| [THESTATE] Conservationists took aim Friday at S.C. Gov. Nikki Haley ...first woman to serve as Governor of South Carolina, and the second Indian-American governor in the country, after Bobby Jindal of Louisiana. At the age of 39, Haley is the youngest current governor in the U.S., a distinction formerly held by Jindal. She is a Republican, which really grates on the Dems... for questioning new carbon dioxide regulations that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency says will help in the fight against climate change, a phenomenon that is contributing to weather extremes and rising sea levels. In a news release, the Conservation Voters of South Carolina said Haley "appears to have been misinformed" about the state's ability to comply with the proposed EPA rules, which are intended to reduce carbon dioxide pollution from the nation's coal-fired power plants by about 30 percent. "It appears that she has been given incorrect information about South Carolina's ability to meet carbon pollution standards," the group said, responding to comments the governor made earlier this week on the coast. The Conservation Voters group has endorsed Democrat Vincent Sheheen for governor over Republican Haley. |

| #5 If it CAN be burned, somebody, somewhere (China?) is going to burn it. And the enlightened ones know that and have known that all along. So, it's not about climate, it's about control. That and the fact that even though they know it will have no effect in the end, they somehow think it will entitle them to die last. Mike |

| #4 Even if every single thing the climate controllers say is true (we are warming, man is causing it, and it will be catastrophic) there is nothing the US can do about it. If it CAN be burned, somebody, somewhere (China?) is going to burn it. And the enlightened ones know that and have known that all along. So, it's not about climate, it's about control. |

| #3 If you are not a beltway insider, you're automatically considered "misinformed." |

| #2 I'm personally fond of this series of graphs. And this one. But they can try calling me misinformed, I suppose. Though it usually doesn't go well. |

| #1 IF there is human caused climate change and IF CO2 emissions are the proximate cause then the most these regulations will and can do is stop HUMAN caused climate change. No one so far has even made the claim that anti-CO2 regulations will actually stabilize the climate. Earth's climate has not been particularly stable for millions of years. The alternative to human caused climate change is 'natural' climate change, i.e. a new ice age in the immediate future (on a geological timescale.) </rant> |
