The Energy Information Administration
(EIA) is part of the Department of Energy. It has spent taxpayer money on
conducting a survey of carbon dioxide emissions in the US. Cheryl Hogue of
Chemical and Engineering News has a two-page article on the details of such
omissions.
This is a ridiculous study with a complete waste of taxpayer money!
There is absolutely no reason to even consider, no less study, carbon dioxide emissions. It has only been done as part of the Obama Administration program to obtain additional government revenue through the taxation of CO2 emissions, coupled with the unnecessary development of sources of energy not involving the burning of carbon containing fuels. The primary motivation appears to be the taxation aspect, with the ancillary need to supply other forms of energy, such as wind and solar. This also happens to be a concession to socialistic environmental groups, who have been strong contributors to Pres. Obama's reelection.
On the other hand, how can I be so adamant to say that the study of carbon dioxide emissions is a ridiculous undertaking? The reason is an unsupported claim that carbon dioxide emission from burning carbon fuels is connected with global warming. There has been no scientific data showing that carbon dioxide is anymore resistant to the passage of heat than any of the other more prevalent atmospheric gases, such as nitrogen and oxygen. In addition, it's very low concentration of only 0.05% in the atmosphere make its effect insignificant.
The bottom line is that carbon dioxide emissions have no significant effect on global warming, and in fact, recent data shows a considerable decrease in global warming, even though carbon dioxide concentrations have been increasing.
The sooner we get over this hoax of relating carbon dioxide emissions to some sort of disastrous consequences in the environment, the sooner we will be able to stop frittering away money on this ridiculous project of controlling CO2 emissions.
