The Environmental Protection Agency and its environmental advocacy groups continue to perpetuate the myth that C02 needs to be controlled because it is the primary cause of trapping the sun’s heat and causing the planet to warm.
And, they claim that the United States produces 25 percent of the carbon dioxide pollution from fossil-fuel burning, the largest share of any country.
President Obama’s EPA has embarked on a $655 billion Clean Air Plan to cut C02 emissions by 32 percent in the next 15 years, and he is currently on an 11-day climate change tour to shame us for ignoring our carbon footprint.
While I agree that there has been a negligible warming, and human behavior may contribute to it, but we have been told by the government that the Clean Air Plan will most likely not have a measurable effect on the warming.

While the United States collaborated with the Russians and French in a core drilling of the Arctic in 1998 to determine C02 levels recorded over thousands of years, don’t expect to hear about it from the president or read about the results in today’s EPA propaganda. Core ice sampling continues to this day.
Core drillers were successful in generating a graph that shows the approximate 110,000 year cycles that took place over the past 420,000 years, showing the clear relationship between higher temperatures and increased C02.
Global warming alarmists generally use short periods of time to present their case, but as noted climatologist Dr. Timothy Ball points out, “that’s not even the blink of an eye in geologic time,” when you look at the thousands of years of core data.
The data reveals that the rise and fall of global temperatures and the rise and fall of C02 emissions is a completely natural cycle that the planet has gone through on many occasions. Temperatures and C02 levels of today have been recorded in years before the invention of the combustion engine.
Even if we were to stop all transportation and shut down our industry, it would not have any impact on global warming, according to the report on Arctic core drilling.
