It's kind of scary how much power the federal government is taking on since Obama came into office.  Where are all the people who were calling Bush a fascist over the patriot act? If the economy sucks more people are dependent on the government helping the democrats maintain an electoral majority.

Obama controls CO2? Does that mean I can breathe a certain number of times a day? After all Breathing releases more CO2 and is therefore the cause of "global warming"

Every time you exhale you kill a polar bear.

Obvious shoop is obvious.

Obama is a weakling who has caved in to the demands of parasitic lobbyists allied to the Democratic party. Our air pollution may be substantial, but that's because of our mega large industry. Overall, people are exposed to negligible air pollution.

You can talk about global warming, but you won't have nearly as much of an effect on global warming unless you focus on China. Their industry is growing and they are making minimal effort to be efficient. In fact, a considerable number of their people live in unhealthy conditions.

You know what? Based on the evidence, it seems like environmentalists in the US are just seeking power and don't actually care about the environment, and the people who support them are mindless lemmings. Until you environmentalist elites/supporters shift your focus on sharing technology and raising standards in China and other emerging industrial powers, please do everyone a favor and stfu.

Looks like we should concentrate on the US, as well as China:

1      United States        6,049,435     22.2 %
2      China and  Taiwan     5,010,170     18.4 %
     European Union     4,001,222     14.7 %
3      Russia                     1,524,993     5.6 %
4      India                        1,342,962     4.9 %
5      Japan                        1,257,963     4.6 %
6      Germany                   860,522     3.1 %
7      Canada                    639,403     2.3 %
8      United Kingdom     587,261     2.2 %
9      South Korea          465,643     1.7 %
10      Italy                     449,948     1.7 %

Yes I know about per capita, and fast growth - but 6mill is still the sinlge largest figure
