8/28/12, "On Our Radar: Green Tuesday at the White House," NY Times Green blog
"In a speech at Iowa State University, he (Obama) noted that “We’re on track to emit fewer greenhouse gases this year than we have in nearly 20 years.”
He did not note the role of the recession, with its attendant drop in manufacturing and car and truck trips. [White House Press Office]"
--------------------------------------------
Ed. note: Here's the full text of Obama's 8/28/12 speech at Iowa State:
8/28/12, "Remarks by President Obama at Campaign Event -- Ames, Iowa," enewspf.com
As noted by the NY Times above, Obama speaks of the remarkable, long term drop of US CO2 emissions (instead of referring to CO2 directly Obama speaks of 'greenhouse gases' but it's specifically CO2 that has been in the news, links below). Later in the speech he summarizes what are apparently meant to be his superior views, one of which is on America's role in CO2 terror. Apparently he doesn't want kids to know what's happening in the US. He says:
"Denying climate change won’t make it stop." (11 parags. from end)
He tells impressionable young minds that US CO2 terror isn't going away, denying remarkable news to the contrary he alluded to in passing moments earlier, at least in regard to the US. The news about this should be shouted from the rooftops so suffering Americans can know that their punishment has in some peoples' minds resulted in some good (ie lower CO2).
Reports say US CO2 is headed even lower (links below), and that other countries' CO2 is still rising despite hundreds of billions spent on cap and trade and extra taxes (links below). US tax money that could be used to feed the hungry or care for a sick animal is instead funneled to experimental 'climate' related ventures or research to "solve" US CO2 terror. But the problem has been solved-if it ever existed. As the NY Times notes Obama didn't elaborate on the topic.
CO2 endangerment has been the justification for diverting hundreds of billions of hard-earned tax dollars for over 2 decades at the expense of human beings.
The entire theory of catastrophic human-caused climate change/global warming rests on the notion that humans are creating too much CO2 and that it's killing people. A commodity trading market was even created just to trade carbon dioxide "offsets" for the alleged purpose of lowering CO2 in the atmosphere. This hasn't happened but CO2 traders still have billions at stake in it. Without the US as a practical and philosophical partner in "CO2 terror," world carbon markets would likely go bankrupt. This would be bad news for Goldman Sachs and many others. Citations in following links:
US CO2 has dropped since at least 2006 and is going lower. Massive global warming 'action' was institutionalized in US government in 1990 by George Bush the 1st in the "U.S. Global Change Research Act of 1990." (He mentions CO2 near the end). Devoting 13 federal agencies to 'climate' matters and paying half of UN IPCC expenses is hardly lagging in action. Even the US military now spends billions on green endeavors. Government has partnered with the 'climate' industry by funneling trillions from US taxpayers to climate endeavors via agency budget allocations, tax subsidies, countless federal regulations, and vast sums given in foreign aid to save the 'climate.' The US economy has obediently weakened itself so it's now a fuel exporter.
People are starving because of decades of climate 'action.'
Other countries' CO2 hasn't dropped, despite hundreds of billions spent on cap and trade and extra taxes. US CO2 is now a moot issue. Perhaps this situation adversely affects persons with 'climate' investments. Perhaps US CO2 vanished more quickly and surely than 'investors' anticipated. (Assuming CO2 was ever a danger to begin with).
In any case, it's over. Even the NY Times notices:
7/15/12, "Recession Special: Cleaner Air," NY Times, Matthew Wald
.
"What the government has not mandated, the economy is doing on its own: emissions of global warming gases in the United States are down.
According to the Energy Department, carbon dioxide emissions peaked in this country in 2005 and will not reach that level again until the early 2020s."...

8/16/12, "AP IMPACT: CO2 Emissions In US Drop To 20-Year Low," AP via NPR
"In a surprising turnaround, the amount of carbon dioxide being released into the atmosphere in the U.S. has fallen dramatically to its lowest level in 20 years, and government officials say the biggest reason is that cheap and plentiful natural gas has led many power plant operators to switch from dirtier-burning coal.
Many of the world's leading climate scientists didn't see the drop coming, in large part because it happened as a result of market forces rather than direct government action against carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas that traps heat in the atmosphere.
Michael Mann, director of the Earth System Science Center at Penn State University, said the shift away from coal is reason for "cautious optimism" about potential ways to deal with climate change."...

The figure, from a recent report from the Congressional Research Service (CRS), shows that despite another year of $1 trillion deficits, the Obama administration continues to pursue its policy of using foreign aid funds for anti-global warming measures – known as the Global Climate Change Initiative (GCCI).
According to CRS, the government has spent a total of $2.5 billion on GCCI since 2010 on overseas anti-global warming efforts in Latin America, Asia, and Africa."...
