As many of you know, the EPA must monitor and protect the environment, and look out for the health of the people of the U.S.

The Centers for Disease Control has been researching the affects of Carbon Dioxide on the health of humans, and whether or not it represents a considerable risk.

When the research showed that there was a link between health CO2 levels, Cheney said that the implications of this would mean that the EPA would be liable for monitoring greenhouse gas emissions.

Seeing this, he had the report censored so that links could not necesarily be drawn between the two.

What do you think of this. Did the Vice-President overstep his bounds

"The Council on Environmental Quality and the office of the vice president were seeking deletions to the CDC testimony (concerning) ... any discussions of the human health consequences of climate change," Burnett has told the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee.


There are no adverse health affects of normal levels of CO2, that wasn't the issue. The question was a matter of climate change and greenhouse gasses.

Cheney is a corrupt fucking scumbag, an evil aggressive boss everyone wants to avoid. He's a selfish, ignorant, greedy, monster, who'd throw you and me into a meat grinder if it served his ends. He doesn't care about anyone, he has no nobility. Why is he in politics if not to enrich himself?

Anyone who can't see the slime coming off a guy like Cheney is deranged. He is like any third world regime thug. He lies. He steals. He kills. How can you look at him?

The fact that he smiles, that he is genuinely amused, when he hears someone call him Darth Vader should be a warning sign in and of itself.
