The Fight Over the Gas We Exhale

You have to fight your way through the globaloney spin in the NY Times to get to the point that there will be a fight over just how far the EPA can go in implementing their own form of cap-and-tax without congressional approval:

With the federal government set to regulate climate-altering gases from factories and power plants for the first time, the Obama administration and the new Congress are headed for a clash that carries substantial risks for both sides.

While only the first phase of regulation takes effect on Sunday, the administration is on notice that if it moves too far and too fast in trying to curtail the ubiquitous gases that are heating the planet it risks a Congressional backlash that could set back the effort for years.

But the newly muscular Republicans in Congress could also stumble by moving too aggressively to handcuff the Environmental Protection Agency, provoking a popular outcry that they are endangering public health in the service of their well-heeled patrons in industry.

What's wrong with these first three paragraphs?

• CO2 is not heating the planet.  If it's supposed to be doing that it's doing a lousy job given that the planet hasn't warmed in 15 years.
• The GOP is not endangering public health by reining in the EPA.  In fact, both the economy and the public will be healthier if cap-and-tax in any and all forms is stopped.

It will be a fight, and it better be a fight the GOP wins. Failure to stop this mess will bring some serious heat down on the heads of the GOP.
