Obama vows to divert even more US taxpayer dollars to green scams if re-elected even though US CO2 has dropped drastically, is heading lower, and he knows it because he said so on August 28, 2012

10/11/12, "Obama: Carbon ‘Eating Our Planet,’ ‘A Threat to Our Children’s Future’," CNS News, Fred Lucas

"President Barack Obama warned his supporters about the threat of global warming and vowed that more money to subsidize green energy firms would prevent it.

“By the way, yes, my plan will reduce the carbon pollution that is eating our planet
because climate change is not a hoax,” Obama said at a campaign rally at the Bank United Arena at the University of Miami. “More droughts and hurricanes and wildfires, that’s not a joke. That’s a threat to our children’s future, and we can do something about it.”
Obama said that he planned to spend more money to subsidize green projects
such as wind and solar if elected to a second term."...via Climate Depot
===================================

At least some of the good news about the US atmosphere has reached Pres. Obama because he referenced it in a speech on Aug. 28. In the speech he used the term 'greenhouse gases' though the recent AP report about the 20 year drop specifically cites CO2:
 
8/16/12, AP: "In a surprising turnaround, the amount of carbon dioxide being released into the atmosphere in the U.S. has fallen dramatically to its lowest level in 20 years."...
 
From Pres. Obama's speech:

8/28/12, at Iowa State: "We’re on track to emit fewer greenhouse gases this year than we have in nearly 20 years. You can keep those trends going." 

----------------------------------------------

The NY Times noted Obama didn't connect the meaning of these scientific findings to ordinary Americans on whose backs they were obtained.

The NY Times says:

8/28/12, "He did not note the role of the recession, with its attendant drop in manufacturing and car and truck trips."

More on the US CO2 drop: 

 6/4/12, "Climate change stunner: USA leads world in CO2 cuts since 2006," Vancouver Observer, Saxifrage




 
"Not only that, but as my top chart shows, US CO2 emissions are falling even faster than what President Obama pledged in the global Copenhagen Accord."...

---------------------------------------

For those unaware of the good news, US CO2 emissions have dropped steadily since at least 2006 and are going lower. This has even been acknowledged in the NY Times. Whatever weather the US is having, it can't possibly be the result of excess CO2.

Other countries' CO2 hasn't dropped despite hundreds of billions spent on cap and trade and extra taxes. This isn't to say the US hasn't become partners with the 'climate' industry. Trillions have been taken from US taxpayers for climate expenses via outright agency budget allocations, tax subsidies, diversion of US military to climate or green projects, countless federal regulations, vast sums shipped out in foreign aid for 'climate' endeavors, etc. Devoting 13 federal agencies to 'climate' matters is hardly 'lagging' in action.

Global Warming 'action' was institutionalized in US government in 1990 by George Bush the 1st in the "U.S. Global Change Research Act of 1990." (He mentions CO2 near the end). The US even exports fuel now.
