The US Supreme court ruled that the EPA has both the right and duty to regulate CO2 emissions. You can read their opinion here: http://www.supremecourtus.gov/opinions/06pdf/05-1120.pdf or you can search Google news or yahoo or whatever for the newspaper reports about this. The ruling was about 6 weeks ago. Jeff

Um... if the EPA is going to have the power to regulate CARBON DIOXIDE, then can they regulate breathing which emits CARBON DIOXIDE? Have to explain everything around here these days.

Besides, breathing doesn't create carbon dioxide. Breathing only rids the blood of carbon dioxide made elsewhere in the body. Jeff
