Don't Breathe, You Only Get to Inhale Twice an Hour

The global warming, climate change juggernaut continues to roll. Apparently there are no people left in Washington who have the ability to look at facts and come to a logical conclusion any longer. It was reported today that President Obama will be ratcheting up emissions standards tomorrow:

• New Emissions Standards - Bloomberg


• US to Require Fuel Economy Standards by 2016 - WSJ

Did you catch that, its going to cost the auto industry $46.7 billion to bring their cars up to 31.6 mpg by 2015. But this new requirement will make it 35.5 mpg by 2016, so its going to be much more than $46.7 billion.

This all might make sense if (1) we were not, as President Obama has told us, in the worst economic situation since the Great Depression, (2) if global warming were actually a problem, and (3) if man was actually responsible for said warming.
