‘MASSIVE SEIZURE OF POWER’: Climate scientists, economists challenge EPA
A group of climate scientists and economists are challenging the Environmental Protection Agency’s authority to regulate greenhouse gas emissions from power plants and other stationary sources.

These critics see a “massive seizure of power” by the agency.

The scientists and economists, including the former chair of the EPA’s Science Advisory Committee, filed an amicus brief with the Supreme Court, arguing that the agency does not have the authority to permit greenhouse gases from stationary sources. According to the group, such a permitting scheme is a “naked power grab of the most cynical sort.”

Global warming will kill us all, warns Common Core-aligned homework

In 2130. the oceans began to rise over farmland and cities. In 300 years, most of the eastern United States was covered with water....

Not Surprising: Climate Change Expert Charged With Fraud of "Massive Proportions", Surprising: Fraud Wasn't About Climate Change
Via Hot Air, the nation's highest-paid employee (!!!) and an EPA "leading expert" on climate change defrauded the taxpayers for years by simply not showing up for his job.

For how long? For over a decade, prosecutors claim.

He claimed he couldn't show up for his job for ten years, as he had been recruited by the CIA to do some kind of secret mission in Pakistan. But he still drew a paycheck.

This is like that scene in an Army movie: "I don't know whether to put you up for a court martial or a Silver Star."...
