Despinning the AFP.

The AFP does its best to spin this story.

The headline reads: "Government must deal with greenhouse gases: US Supreme Court".

Nice spin, if you can get the job.

Now, when a 5-4 decision goes against the media it's always reported as being a 'divided court'.

Headline AFP should use: "Narrowly divided Supreme Court rules against science."

Why is it against science? Because CO2, carbon dioxide, is not a polutant. Never has been, never will be. It's vital to plants, is a natural waste product from animals, and is exhausted from the oceans and volcanos in volumes our industry can't even begin to approach. Junk science, junk ruling, typical media bias.

And, for you consipracy nuts out there, remember, every time you breathe, you're exhaling something the EPA can regulate.
