You hear the Global Warming crowd always talking about the evils of American industry and the pollution it spews forth. Well, the data doesn't support that theory. In fact it is quite the opposite. The reason the Global Warming crowd wants people to think poorly of America is because we have the money! They want our money to redistribute throughout the globe. It isn't about saving the planet, it's about taking America's wealth and giving it to third world dictators, I mean countries. If the Global Warming crowd was really serious they would demand China pay through the nose for their pollution.
U.S. Carbon Dioxide Emissions Down Sharply
The U.S. Energy Information Administration has released data showing U.S. carbon dioxide emissions from energy consumption were 7 percent lower in 2009 than in 2000. Even before the current economic slump, U.S. emissions were essentially flat, rising merely 2 percent between 2000 and 2007.Although U.S. carbon dioxide emissions declined 7 percent from 2000 to 2009, global emissions rose 27 percent. China, which currently emits 42 percent more emissions than the U.S., nearly tripled its emissions from 2000 through 2009.
Regardless of whether one believes the world is facing an imminent global warming crisis, the United States is clearly not to blame for the ongoing rise in global carbon dioxide emissions. If a political determination is made to halt the rise in global carbon dioxide emissions, it will do little good to blame and target the United States.

The earth is not burning. And America is not to blame even if it was. It's just they don't like our Capitalist society. They want us to ruled and dictated to, much like our current President wants, much like the Socialistic countries around the world. How dare we have freedom and individual rights! I for one am glad we do and I hope enough Americans feel the same! And that's the All Right Idea!
