Obama is making “America has never done more to curb Carbon emissions…” noises. Based on nothing at all, Obama says:
“I am proud to say that the United States has done more to promote clean energy and reduce carbon pollution in the last eight months than at any other time in our history.”
I’m getting tired of this empty suit and his empty words.
Meanwhile, here is reality – in those bad old days of 2006:
U.S. carbon dioxide emissions dropped slightly last year even as the economy grew, according to an initial estimate released yesterday by the Energy Information Administration.
The 1.3 percent drop in CO{-2} emissions marks the first time that U.S. pollution linked to global warming has declined in absolute terms since 2001 and the first time it has gone down since 1990 while the economy was thriving. Carbon dioxide emissions declined in both 2001 and 1991, in large part because of economic slowdowns during those years.
In 2006 the U.S. economy grew 3.3 percent, a fact President Bush touted yesterday as he hailed the government’s “flash estimate” that the country’s carbon dioxide emissions dropped by 78 million metric tons last year.
“We are effectively confronting the important challenge of global climate change through regulations, public-private partnerships, incentives, and strong economic investment,” Bush said in a statement. “New policies at the federal, state, and local levels — such as my initiative to reduce by 20 percent our projected use of gasoline within 10 years — promise even more progress.” A number of factors helped reduce emissions last year, according to the government, including weather conditions that reduced heating and air-conditioning use, higher gasoline prices that caused consumers to conserve, and a greater overall reliance on natural gas.
She's got more. It's worthy of reading and passing on.
He certainly is emitting more lies. Interestingly, he is taking the Obama Show so public that even the formerly main stream media has to ask about some of them.
CBS' George Step-on-all-of-us actually challenged the Prez on his tax increase. Of course Obama wouldn't really discuss it, choosing instead to change the subject to whatever dictionary ol' George was using.
The Obama Road Show was interesting though... and wrapping it up on Letterman completed the weekend of comedy.
Folks are getting tired of the Obama show and of the formerly main stream media worshiping at His feet.
