WASHINGTON (Reuters) -- U.S. greenhouse gas emissions linked to global warming fell by 1.2 percent last year, the largest decrease in a decade, due in part to slow economic growth and a milder winter, the government said.

Republican genius. Drive the economy into the tank, and there will be fewer emissions. Subtle strategy. Ya gotta love ‘em.

I can see The Little Monkey in 2004. “To those who say the Bush Administration does not care about the environment, I’d like to say I have reduced greenhouse emissions more than any other President in the last decade, without harsh measures, without the Kyoto Treaty, on a voluntary basis.”

Well, shedding that terrible prosperity AND the global warming already taking effect means using less heating fuels has done it. Though warming could mean the use of more air conditioning.

Arf (and he'd be right)
