Texas leads the country in CO2 emissions (I can hear the we're number one cheers). Apparently, the majority of its electorate agrees with the state's Attorney General (and the oil companies), that the EPA does not have the right to regulate CO2 because it is emitted by every living thing. Its hard to believe that the Attorney General is simply stupid. Its easier to understand by referring to Upton Sinclair's comment that "Its hard to get someone to understand something when his paycheck depends upon his not understanding".
