Obama orders coal power-plant pollution cuts

It really is comical when you break down the numbers what an excercise in futility these environmentalist nuts are engaged in. They just did a victory lap after Obama put forth the plan reduce the carbon emmissions in coal plants by 30%.

The U.S. is responsible for about 15% of carbon emissions, and CO2 makes up less than 5% of the earths atmosphere.

So if you take 30% off of 15%, its 5%. 5% reduction times 5% of the atmosphere being CO2 means that if we are responsible for 100% of the CO2 in the atmosphere we are going to reduce it by 0.25% yes thats a quarter of a percent, or 1/400th of a point. On a 30 degree day thats 1/10th of a a degree, making the unproven assumption that CO2 is 100% of the cause of global warming.

Meanwhile everyone will pay much higher energy prices, families will be destroyed, and entire towns will go bankrupt as coal mining companies are shut down....... And the environmentalist fruit cakes like Futurecurrents who have no basis in reality will do a victory lap thinking they are saving the planet, its a fucking joke.


Planned coal-power closings won't cut CO2 much

The electric power industry's plan to retire more than 10% of its coal-fired generators within a decade will do almost nothing to reduce the nation's emissions of heat-trapping carbon dioxide, a USA TODAY analysis finds.

The 140 slated retirements — mostly small, old generating units in the Midwest and South — account for only 4% of all CO2 emitted last year by U.S. power plants. In fact, not one ranks among the top 100 units for carbon emissions and only 12 are among the 475 units that comprise the top 10% of emitters, according to a review of 2013 federal data.

The argument is moving forward. CO2 does cause warming, but there's nothing the US can do about it anyway.

The appropriate argument is that CO2 does not cause warming. It is foolish to waste money trying to curb CO2 emissions.

The CO2 molecule does not absorb radiant energy with wavelengths longer than 4000 nanometers?

The CO2 molecule does not cause global warming. 30 years from now this political-driven junk science will be viewed as total nonsense while late night comedians poke fun at it.
