One Step Closer

One step closer.

North Dakota senators vote to maintain the status quo: EPA allowed to determine/state that carbon dioxide and water (the two major components of "greenhouse" gases") are hazardous to one's health. Water vapor contributes up to 76% and carbon dioxide contributes up to 26%. Other gases are negligible.

(Note: scientists "never" mention that water vapor is the major component, three times as much as carbon dioxide. But that's a story for another time.)

EPA now proposes rules/regulations which are generally rubber-stamped by legislative bodies. That has been my observation. I am often wrong. 

These links often get broken in a few days, either lost forever, or requiring a password (free/paid subscription).

EPA remains interested in regulating fracking through the Clean Water Act (not noted in this article).
