Can We Continue To Breathe?

The EPA, on April 17th, proposed new regulations to control carbon dioxide (CO2). I suppose pretty soon, they'll be regulating, who can breathe, and who can't. Shades of Soilent Green. The old people have breathed enough of our air already, let's give them assisted suicide. 

Under the Obama administration, the new leaders of the EPA, saw the recent Supreme Court's ruling on "greenhouse gasses", as a green light to regulate every aspect of human conduct. The EPA's website noted, that the Supreme Court said, that the "Clean Air Act" had a "sweeping definition of air pollutant, that included physical and chemical substances, which are emitted into the ambient air. I think that's what's called "breathing". 

The EPA isn't waiting, and doesn't seem to care, whether or not Congress votes to authorize the proposed regulations. They're going ahead. How does the EPA go about declaring CO2 - a common and healthy gas needed for plant life here on earth - a dangerous "pollutant?"  To clarify the distinction between air pollution and air pollutant - the air pollution is the cumulative stock problem of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere - the air pollutants, on the other hand, are the emissions of greenhouse gases and can be thought of, as the flow that changes the size of the total stock. Translated - it means that carbon dioxide, methane and other alleged pollutants, aren't dangerous, and are in fact natural elements. But the fact that human activities, such as breathing, add to the global amount of CO2, it should be regulated. I wonder if Judge Napolitano would consider this a dangerous ruling?
