The following are snippets from the article. What Obama is doing is harmful to the country as can be witnessed by the slowest economic recovery from a recession in history, and the weakest.
The Inconvenient Truth about Climate Change - Peter Morici - Page 2
Climate change cannot be denied. The inconvenient truth President Obama refuses to accept is that U.S. efforts to significantly alter its course are fruitless, and severely handicap America's ability to mitigate its consequences.
CO2 composes 80 percent of harmful emissions. Failing to win congressional approval for a system of permits to reduce emissions, the president has unilaterally targeted coal-fired electric utilities and fuel use in transportation to reduce U.S. emissions by 17 percent from 2005 levels.
Those actions are unnecessary and harmful.
Together, those free market decisions have reduced CO2 emissions by more than 9 percent from 2005 levels.
Other developing countries, like India, are similarly adding to the problem; however, China accounts for about 85 percent of the annual increase in global CO2 emissions.
Put bluntly, if man-made emissions are the culprit, then by China's actions alone global warming is going to happen with the force and fury many fear. The United States can do little to stop it, and efforts to do so will only reduce U.S. resources available to mitigate its consequences.
