And the Church of Chicken Little takes yet another hit:
Much to the surprise (and, one suspects, the chagrin) of the deranged
doomsaying wing of the environmental movement, new forecasts of US CO2
emission are out and they point to an even steeper drop than the last set of
predictions.
No cap and trade, no huge new taxes on oil, no draconian driver
restrictions, no air conditioning bans, no rationing — and the US is on
track to cut its CO2 emissions 17 percent below the 2005 levels by 2020 —
and to keep cutting our emissions levels beyond that.
And this news doesn’t come from embattled climate skeptics banished to
the fringes of the scientific community; these numbers come from the Obama
administration and are sitting right up on Don Lashof’s well respected blog
at the National Resource Defense Council website. Take a look for
yourselves.
So, to summarize, the United States of America basically blew the global
greens off completely, trampling all over their carbon tax and cap and
trade agendas, and earning wails and shrieks of hatred at the Rio+20 Summit
— while making huge strides toward reducing CO2 emission levels.
It’s almost as if there is no connection between the green policy
agenda and environmental progress.

Check it out, pass it on.
