Supreme Court ruling on global warming: There they go again
On Monday, the Supreme Court once again demonstrated it has no regard for the constitutional limits on its judicial overreach by meddling in issues that were designed by the Founders to be handled by the legislative and executive branches of government.
The Court essentially ordered the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to regulate carbon dioxide emissions and other greenhouse gases, or face further legal action.
The Justices, evidently now fancying themselves the not-to-be-questioned arbiters of science along with just about everything else, ruled that CO2 is a pollutant. But it is not. CO2 is plant food, and higher concentrations of CO2 are beneficial to plant growth and therefore a positive boon to human life. During photosynthesis, plants convert CO2 to carbohydrates and release oxygen into the atmosphere in the process.
The Court's ruling ignores the fact that for the last 30 years, the EPA has been ordering automakers to find ways to eliminate every other emission from tailpipes except for CO2, for the obvious reason that it is not a pollutant.
Once again the left, unable to achieve its agenda through the democratic process, has resorted to the autocratic power of the Supreme Court to get what it wants.
