EPA Reports Massive Drop In US CO2 Emissions


Who should we thank for this? Capitalism, the EPA, Obama, George W. Bush, or the recession?!?

I'm gonna say probably the recession.

Maybe the EPA should encourage more recessions!

" I might have missed it, but I didn't even see the story mentioned by major climate bloggers. Why is that? Is climate change now such old news that even a big data release like this elicits only a shrug? Were people afraid to discuss the story, figuring that it would seem like crass gloating over a sour economy? Or has the professional news media become so depopulated that nobody even had time to cover the story?"


Probably because reduction in CO2 is only big news when it can be somehow contributed to "science driven policies".
