1. Yay. Climate change is solved!

Too bad we can't eat pretty graphics

2. But when you stack the graph

looks like the usage really hasn't changed that much.

Then when you add in the extra NG we're using....

It's a lot like the commercials I see from the NG industry...the one where they're so proud that burning the stuff is so much cleaner than burning oil...totally ignoring how filthy it is to extract it.

Only solution is to get off of burning fossil fuels.

Only solution.

As I sit here in central Indiana waiting to feel one more example of that global warming hoax.

Then when you add in the fact that oil derivatives are the most amazing things that make our whole way of life so much better...and we burn it in some guzzler as a testosterone boost to get our bony ass down the street.

3. Because fracking and shale oil drilling and tar sands are the answer to climate change?

The only reason US production is up to the level it is is because of dirty production methods like the above (and the decline rate of, for instance, the Bakken shale is significantly steeper than for conventional and offshore wells).

The European average for fuel economy is 45mpg:



And biofuels are a joke because most of it is corn ethanol that costs as much in energy to grow as you get back using it as a fuel, and dedicating a significant acreage of cropland and almost half the corn crop to biofuels at a time of climate change, food uncertainty, and water resource depletion is a frankly stupid long-term strategy.

8. I'm glad America listened to his DRILL BABY DRILL !!1! message

He was just the right guy to deliver it. Coming from someone else, it might have fallen on deaf ears.
