Carbon Dioxide is NOT Pollution. Those who think so are deceivers

AMERICAN ELEC. POWER CO. v. CONNECTICUT
AMERICAN ELECTRIC POWER COMPANY, INC., ET AL., PETITIONERS
v.
CONNECTICUT ET AL.
No. 10-174.
Supreme Court of United States.

Argued April 19, 2011.
Decided June 20, 2011.




GINSBURG, delivered the opinion of the Court.
We address in this opinion the question whether the plaintiffs (several States, the city of New York, and three private land trusts) can maintain federal common law public nuisance claims against carbon-dioxide emitters (four private power companies and the federal Tennessee Valley Authority). As relief, the plaintiffs ask for a decree setting carbon-dioxide emissions for each defendant at an initial cap, to be further reduced annually. The Clean Air Act and the Environmental Protection Agency action the Act authorizes, we hold, displace the claims the plaintiffs seek to pursue.

TURN OR BURN

A Sermon
(No. 106)

Delivered on Sabbath Morning, December 7, 1856, by the
REV. C. H. Spurgeon
at the Music Hall, Royal Surrey Gardens.


"If he turn not, he will whet his sword; he hath bent his bow and made it ready."—Psalm 7:12.

F THE SINNER turn not, God will whet his sword." So, then, God has a sword, and he will punish man on account of his iniquity. This evil generation hath laboured to take away from God the sword of his justice; they have endeavoured to prove themselves that God will "clear the guilty," and will by no means "punish iniquity, transgression and sin." Two hundred years ago the predominant strain of the pulpit was one of terror: it was like Mount Sinai, it thundered forth the dreadful wrath of God, and from the lips of a Baxter or a Bunyan, you heard most terrible sermons, full to the brim with warnings of judgment to come.
