From Bloomberg:

"The report said average U.S. emissions of the gases blamed for climate change from 2009 to 2011 fell to their lowest level since the mid-1990s. Emissions are down 6.8 percent compared with 2005, but are expected to rise gradually over the remaining six years of the decade under the current policies, the report said."
If the slate of actions Obama unveiled in June are implemented, the net effect could be the 17 percent reduction, the report said. The report was issued the day before the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, a UN-based organization created to assess climate change, is scheduled to issue its analysis of the causes and impacts of global warming."

Your rants are not taken seriously by me if you complain about every single thing this president has done. And bringing up the broken website that has been fixed for months now??? Please! This does not sound like a socialist. It sounds like a tea bagger.
