Never said that emissions the were bogus; however, I do think that those emissions are not responsible in the manner in which they are being portrayed. We have little, if any, role in 'global warming' or 'climate change'; to think otherwise gives man far more power over his environment than he could ever hope to have, IMO. However, it is a nice political football and an easy way to blame the US for various problems. As it is, coal is targeted (again, IMO) because it is our most abundant resource. We could have been building nuclear plants a la France for the past 30 years, but no...
