Watts Up With That? has information on how to contact the EPA over the new "CO2 is a pollutant" rules.
In a stunning act of political kowtowing, the EPA caved to special interest groups and politics and declared CO2 a "dangerous pollutant", even though it is part of the natural cycle of life. Now the gloves come off and the real fight begins during the 60 day public comment period. If you've never stood up to "consensus" before, now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their country. See instructions below for submitting public comment.
Please do visit Watts Up With That? for all the details. However I'm going to give you the contact information here. Just in case you don't.
The Proposed Endangerment and Cause or Contribute Findings for Greenhouse Gases under the Clean Air Act was signed on April 17, 2009, and will be published in the Federal Register and available in the Docket (www.regulations.gov) shortly under Docket ID No. [EPA-HQ-OAR-2009-0171]. A pre-publication copy is provided below. While EPA has taken steps to ensure the accuracy of this Internet version of the document, it is not the official version.
Technical analyses developed in support of the Proposed Endangerment and Cause or Contribute Findings for Greenhouse Gases under the Clean Air Act may be found here:
When providing comments, please submit them with reference to Docket ID No. EPA-HQ-OAR-2009-0171.
and
There will be two public hearings for this proposed finding. EPA requests those who wish to attend or give public comments, to register on-line in advance of the hearing. EPA will audio web stream both public hearings. The meeting information pages will be updated with this information as it becomes available.
Assuming they succeed and we move back to cave man conditions, we will still have the 99% of carbon dioxide that is natures production, and still have as we have always had climate change.
They should also target oxygen which supports the combustion of carbon to produce carbon dioxide.

Deep in thought over where to hide all the cows I need to buy.

A good question to ask the EPA is why did the Laurentine Ice Sheet melt between 16,000 and 10,000 years ago when the carbon dioxide emitted by the few people who may or may not have been around would not be measurable compared to the amount of given off by the continental flora at night during the respiration phase of the photosynthsis cycle.

I think it's cute the way you think they care crap one about what you think.
America '09: Too late to work within the system, too soon to shoot the bastids.

I'm going to offer my comment to them, but the fix is in already. I only pray that this can somehow be reversed post-Democrat rule because it is an utter disaster for America.

Veeshir,
The point is to slow them down. Give them a lot of paperwork to deal with.
Too bad we can't have a grand Tea Party show up at a hearing site.

Save the planet, Stop breathing. "Global Warming" is now "Climate Change" in case it actually gets colder. Of course, all the doom is still based on warming. Inconsistent? Weather, by definition, is unpredictable. If it were stable, we'd have a problem. CO2 levels have risen six thousandths of a percent over the last 50 years as measured on a volcano. Yawn.

Stop this farce NOW!!! CO2, is plant food, not a polutant. The sun controls global warming, and at present, global cooling.
