Thanks, stray kitten, for further proving my point. The fact you probably didn't read a single word from the EPA's proposal of regulating greenhouse gas emissions tells the whole story of how farcical you and your ilk are. The EPA, under these rules, can only regulate "air pollutants," which is defined as "the emissions of greenhouse gases and can be thought of as the flow that changes the size of the total stock." Respiration is nothing as the sort, as anyone paying attention in 7th grade chemistry could have easily told you. Instead, respiration is "part of a natural closed-loop cycle and does not contribute to the greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere. Natural processes of photosynthesis (in plants) and respiration (in plants and animals) maintain a balance of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Thus, the carbon dioxide from natural process is not included in greenhouse gas inventories." Again, this is something a young child could have told you.
