Live feed for Obama's 'Climate Speech' today at 1:55PM EDT

I can’t post my opinion of Obama – and his agenda – without getting banned for life or incurring the wrath of the NSA. Let’s just say I would be pleased if he was disappeared.

I decided to look at a statistic nobody has really talked about (at least, not in the press), and that is comparing a country’s share of global GDP to its share of global CO2 emissions. I also looked at economic output per ton of CO2 (basically, GDP/total CO2 emitted). Lastly, I looked at the very commonly cited per capita GDP (typically considered the best measure of standard of living and wealth of a country). Of the world’s 12 largest economies (U.S., China, Japan, Germany, France, Brazil, U.K., Italy, India, Russia, Canada, and Australia), two countries (Australia and Canada) best the U.S.’s $47K per capita GDP while eight (France, Brazil, Italy, Japan, U.K., Germany, Australia, and Canada) best the U.S. on dollars per ton of CO2. There are nine countries (the same eight plus the U.S.) who are accountable for a larger share of global GDP than global share of CO2 (i.e. share of GDP minus share of CO2 is positive), with only one country (Japan) besting the U.S. I would argue that the U.S. is among the top in the world with balancing a wealthy economy with “being green”. Lastly, in terms of CO2 emitted per capita, only Australia beats the U.S. So having said all that, Canada is the only country who beats the U.S. on per capita GDP while having lower CO2 emissions per capita. If you want to really reduce global CO2 emissions, look to China, India, and Russia.
Long story short, only Canada has a better balance of being green and being wealthy than the U.S. (Australia and Japan are comparable).
I have put a spreadsheet of this data here: http://www.jasonsweathercenter.com/CO2%20stats.xlsx

“”The planet is warming. Human activity is contributing to it,” Obama said.””
Brilliant. The warmistas are absorbing the skeptic territory as their own. Not only do they keep the money flowing, they stake out turf as if “they” were “the right ones” all along.
As it is, their discourse of late been to smear the “skeptics” with the mantle of denying any “climate change” at all.

I’ve lived in the Chicago suburbs my whole life (50+ years).
Chicago’s corrupt politics has seated itself in our White House.
The MSM love affair is waning, although its virtue may be lost forever.
Just another unintended consequence.

I am 68 years old. It is bad for my health to hear his voice or even his name. As Osama bin Laden said in a 1997 interview with Peter Arnett, of Bubba Clinton (the first Trailer Trash President)
“Mentioning the name of Clinton …… provokes disgust and revulsion”

By the way, this interview was in March of 1997. Osama bin Laden says that he has already declared war on us. The Terrorist’s War on us is Bubba Clinton’s War.

Who needs any evidence when there is wild bloody assertion to rile up the masses:
Obama:

““In a world that’s warmer than it used to be, all weather events are affected by the warming planet”

Obama says, “…No time for flat earth society”
Yea, but it is the time of flat temperatures.

Jon Jewett,
On Ben Loud One, he had an older brother he loved more than any thing, the family were in the U.S. and friends of the Bush family “oil people” talked the older brother into getting a ultra lite and to learn to fly it. He hit a 340,000 volt electric transmission line near Austin Texas, ( Near Lake Travis) and it killed the brother. Ben Loud One blames our oil rich for that as well as our use of electricity and other high tech. Ben Loud One very into the Koran and all that from a young age, thus he had a firm hold on words that put him in a position to not understand cause and effect.

Bush was an idiot…. but at least everyone knew it… the problem with this guy is that he is an idiot but many think he is the real article !? Still… we have Cameron, and if he looses next time we get David Milliband’s reflection on the back of a spoon as P.M.

Dave Finnigan said something.
mkelly pointed out that DF is missing a sarcasm tag. I clicked on DF’s name into his website, best described as a howto for brainwashing children. Needs to be a little more over-the-top to be considered good satire.
As an example your site suggests “One grade gets to become polar bears looking for ice floes in a warming Arctic Ocean. The ice floes shrink and the polar bears have to huddle together on smaller and smaller surfaces.”
Needs to be something like: “One grade pretends to be activists looking for missing polar bears but instead find themselves surrounded by increasing numbers of polar bears (played by a higher grade). That increase is despite rates of hunting of up to 10% per year in some populations”
