The EIA’s chart also shows how limited President Obama’s ability to deal with climate change really is. The reality is that the vast majority of the carbon emissions to come will be emitted by developing nations like China—and much of that will be due to coal. As we’ve reported here, the U.S. has reduced coal use and cut carbon emissions in recent year, even in the absence of comprehensive climate legislation, thanks to tougher air pollution regulations and cheap natural gas from fracking. Yet even as coal has waned in the U.S., it’s still being burned by the gigaton in other countries. We won’t beat climate change until we’ve beaten coal, but I’m not sure there’s much the United States can do to convince China or India to quit cheap energy—no matter the cost.

Not long from now, magazines like Time will disappear completely, simply because they’re continually late to the party with what they think is “news”, when in reality it’s like ancient history.
And in other news:-
The Pope’s a catholic.
While interviewing (heavily choreographed) Gore this morning, Mat Lauer let us all know that 4 out of 5 accept the consensus of CAGW and that those terrorists that don’t believe will get theirs…
After we get China and India to stop using coal then we can convince the oceans to stop emitting CO2. Then we will be saved.

What I find surprising is that this scam took wings in the first place and that it has gone on for so long. It seems the majority of governments are living in some kind of nightmare, waving around this massive scare, while the average person on the street scratches their head and waits for the next election. When are people going to get angry about being lied to and robbed blind by the very people who should have their interests at heart? When are people going to get angry at alarmists in particular and the Greens in general? Frankly, I’m looking forward to it, it’s long overdue.
Even so, there is currently less than 1 gram of CO2 in a cubic metre of air at sea level !
Do the math – 0.06% by weight of 1.205 kg air per cubic metre at sea level = 0.732 grams CO2.
The amount of CO2 at the high elevations in the atmosphere – you know, the level where the atmosphere acts like a solid radiating plate sending all that backradiation down to burn us all to hell – must be completely insignificant as they are insignificant at sea level and everyone knows density decreases as you ascend in the atmosphere.
I can almost hear the reply from somewhere in Beijing after the quiet laughter has subsided: “And just what do you intend to do about this – once the dollar is no longer the currency of exchange?”
