  • Trump ‘Most Successful Climate Protector in the World’

    The International Energy Agency (IEA) released its “Global Energy and CO2 Status Report, 2017” on March 22, which contained the bombshell news that the “biggest drop in emissions came from the United States,” which made folks at Die Welt sit up and take notice.

    Global energy-related carbon dioxide emissions increased overall by 1.4 percent in 2017, the report revealed, and in most major economies, carbon dioxide emissions increased as well.

    Mr. Wetzel doffed his hat to President Trump, saying that despite being stigmatized as an enemy of the environment, he has shown himself to be quite the contrary. Wetzel contrasted the positive U.S. results with those of China, which signed on to the Paris Climate Accord. While U.S. emissions dropped, China’s grew by nearly a full percentage point in 2017.

    Curiously, some of the countries that chastised the United States for dropping out of the Paris Accord performed far worse than the U.S. during 2017, with the European Union (EU) emissions rising by a stunning 46 million tons. Germany itself has not reduced its emissions for nine years in a row.

      Obviously, the evil greedy corporations were maliciously increasing their CO2 output under Obama to make him look bad, then quit when they bankrolled their man into office.

        Unlike previous decreases due to replacement of coal with natural gas derived from fracking, current decreases track back to increased use of renewables.

        Ausgerechnet Trumps Amerika hat die weltweit beste Klimabilanz
        Ökostrom in den USA auf dem Vormarsch

        Nun allerdings zeigt sich, dass diese Schritte nichts an der Vorreiterrolle der USA geändert haben. Im Gegenteil: Frühere CO2-Sparerfolge ließen sich noch damit erklären, dass in den USA viele Kohlekraftwerke durch billiges und tendenziell sauberes Erdgas verdrängt wurden, das mithilfe der umstrittenen Fördertechnik Fracking aus der Erde geholt wurde.

        Diesmal aber beruht der Klimaschutzerfolg der USA nicht auf Fracking-Gas: Die CO2-Einsparung des Jahres 2017 sei vielmehr auf den verstärkten Verbrauch erneuerbarer Energien zurückzuführen, die einen Rekordanteil von 17 Prozent erreichten, während der Anteil der CO2-armen Atomkraft bei 20 Prozent verharrte.

        And then there's this.
        Washington hat wenig Einfluss auf Verstromung

        Zudem hat die von Trump geführte Zentralregierung in Washington energie- und klimapolitisch wenig Einfluss auf die einzelnen Bundesstaaten. Regional wurde der Ausbau von Wind- und Solarkraft unabhängig von Washington weiter gefördert und ausgebaut.

        In case anyone was wondering why Breitbart didn't include a link.

            Apologies for the earlier snark. I don't know that anyone here would own up to thinking that, and I'm not a better mind-reader than anyone else here.

              obviously this is Obama's doing and Trump is merely taking the credit.
