Washington (AFP) - US House Republicans voted Tuesday to block President Barack Obama's regulations on reducing greenhouse gas emissions -- a move certain to spark his veto -- as negotiators work on a global climate deal in Paris.

The two measures, rolling back the Environmental Protection Agency's new emission rules for power plants, passed the chamber largely along party lines.

The so-called disapproval resolutions, which already passed the Republican-controlled Senate, dealt a largely symbolic yet blunt rebuke to Obama, who attended the start of a major UN climate summit in the French capital.

The White House has said Obama would veto the resolutions and Congress does not appear to have sufficient votes to override the veto.

1. Ever see a coal train?

100 + tons of carbon per car ...... and when you burn that coal all that CO2 goes into our atmosphere

2. And all that CO2

does this to plants

How can this be wrong? I also wonder how many metric tons of aquifer polluting fertilizer this is going to save us?

5. Just pointing out the silver lining

Have anything else to say about the actual content of my post? Unless Fred is Igbo for Obinna, if not then the answer is no.

6. Fred often speaks of how green the trees are near the RR tracks,

thus the greenhouse gasses cannot possibly be harmful. As a dutiful RWNJ and dedicated faux snooze authority it was unlikely that you really were Fred.

11. you really didn't think this through...

as my above comment points out, it gets hotter as well. Not wet heat, but dry heat, thus killing off any "benefit" you try to point at by having additional co2 in the air.

8. Ronald, is that you Ronald?

The issue is global warming, melting glaciers,j drought, floods, famine, resource wars, mass migration, depleted and defunct ground water. Say goodbye to lowlands like Florida and a good deal of the eastern seaboard. California fruits and veggies in the winter? Forget about it. In fact, between endless drought, rising seas and gigantic firestorm up and down the west coast, you might as well say bye bye to California altogether. But those cute little plants in your animation are gonna do just fine (as long as they're not underwater, of course. )

10. won't mean a thing. there is no "silver lining".

while their will be more CO2; the temperatures will go up and kill the plant due to heat.

Gun humpers infiltrate online forums from politics to needlepoint to push their agenda.
