Which was filled with your traditional warmists, and halt ALL "proposed and pending regulations,” which includes the cap-and-trade regulation.

Excellent.

You will likely see this happening in those states with new GOP governors. We can now put on trial the bogus science behind the political calculations, taxes, regulations of the AGW believers.

Martinez axes all Environmental Improvement Board members | New Mexico Independent

Quote:
Gov. Susana Martinez removed all the members of the state Environmental Improvement Board Tuesday for helping create an “anti-business environment.” Before being sworn in, Martinez was critical of the board’s decision to institute cap-and-trade rules in New Mexico.

“Unfortunately, the majority of EIB members have made it clear that they are more interested in advancing political ideology than implementing common-sense policies that balance economic growth with responsible stewardship in New Mexico,” Martinez wrote.

Clean water, clean air, and clean soil is socialism.

You can have your water and air clean without that piece of bureaucracy.

You're speaking of conservationism, which emphasizes on those things by using a wide area of tools, from governmental policy to private property rights. Environmentalism is not that in any sense, it speaks purely about far-off doomsday scenarios that always come back with government command-and-control strategies. The philosophy of environmentalism is not embedded in science and logic, but rather it always takes the point that humans (to quote the Matrix) are viewed as a virus, a cancer of the planet. Everything that a person does, from eating to filling up his or her car with gas is always viewed as a bad thing. That's why it should be deemed an anti-human ideology.

I'd recommed reading a book that I'm reading now, which is entitled Free Market Environmentalism, by Anderson and Leal.

Everyone is for clean air, water and land. Don't need carbon taxes or job killing regulation based on hoax science to achieve it.

That's true, if we lived in the 19th century. There has to be some level of bureaucracy to maintain a healthy environment. Too much bureaucracy is bad and none at all is also bad.

It looks like she got rid of the current board members, not the board. From the link:

She also said the members could apply for their old positions again and would consider their re-employment on a case by case basis.

No one said she eliminated the board. A board is made up of members - she axed them all.

Yeah, NO CHANCE of those former members getting their jobs back.

But lefties can't see that government by bureaucracy is not the way to maintain what we have.

America should abolish the EPA and all environmental protection laws. Who needs the environment anyway? Vacant areas serve as great places to dump trash of all sorts without a fee. People should be allowed to dump wherever they want without any stupid government laws and fines. Industry could function much better (and cheaper) by dumping industrial waste wherever is convenient. That's why god created lakes, rivers, and streams - to dump waste.
