Neither Congress nor the Supreme Court have ruled that carbon dioxide is an atmospheric pollutant. Both, however, have paved the way for a bureaucrat to so rule and to then seriously disrupt the Texas economy. Texas alone has the backbone to defy this huge bureaucratic, federal government mandate which has the force of law. At an atmospheric concentration of less than 400 parts per million this odorless, tasteless, invisible gas poses no threat to mankind nor to our planet. Indeed, it is essential to our survival and would be no problem at twice the current level.
