Minimal petrol taxation and lack of climate policy contribute to American greenhouse gas emissions and energy use per person being among the world's highest. Yet the former president George W Bush cited the lack of restrictions on China for the US's refusal to sign up to international deals aimed at limiting global warming. The average American produces almost three times the carbon dioxide of the typical Chinese.

Interesting thread though the guy has been Zotted. His posting history (see #19) has references to "fracking." I have linked them all to the keyword fracking so anyone with an interest can look at them. The New Mexico connection is Dr. Daniel Fine at NM Tech who testifies on behalf of the practice.

NM list PING!

I may not PING for all New Mexico articles. To see New Mexico articles by topic click here: New Mexico Topics

(The NM list is available on my FR homepage for anyone to use. Let me know if you wish to be added or removed from the list.)

“The average American produces almost three times the carbon dioxide of the typical Chinese.”

Good thing that statistic isn’t reversed, or there might really be a CO2 problem.
