Does Amy Klobuchar not know the difference between diesel fine particle emissions and carbon dioxide?

Serious stupidity from US Senator Amy Klobuchar

(ABC 6 NEWS)--- Senator Amy Klobuchar is touring the state today as part of her "Main Street Jobs" tour.

Klobuchar is focusing on job creation with infrastructure and renewable energy projects like Project Green Fleet in Rochester.

She plans to take this technology back to Washington to fight against global warming.

Senator Amy Klobuchar says climate change can be seen right here in Minnesota.

"Whether it's hunters in Hibbing that have seen the changes to the wetland, or people who it takes awhile to get their fish houses out longer than before." [Is Klobuchar forgetting that Minnesota's 2008 Leech Lake fishing opener was a dismal one, with the lake still about 80% frozen over?]

"I was in Greenland and saw water pouring off of these ice burgs like spigots," said Klobuchar.

And she says it needs to stop.

"This is happening quickly and we need to do something immediately," said Klobuchar.

And she says Project Green Fleet is part of the solution.

It's a statewide effort to retrofit diesel engines with new mufflers that control emissions reducing pollution. [How does that qualify as an "infrastructure or renewable energy project?]

The air in your average school bus is five times more polluted than the air outside.

But a retrofitted school bus eliminates virtually all of that pollution and reduces the risk of asthma or other health problems in school children.

Diesel and Health in America - Clean Air Task Force (CATF)

# Fine particle pollution from diesels shortens the lives of nearly 21,000 people each year. This includes almost 3,000 early deaths from lung cancer.
# Tens of thousands of Americans suffer each year from asthma attacks (over 400,000), heart attacks (27,000), and respiratory problems associated with fine particles from diesel vehicles. These illnesses result in thousands of emergency room visits, hospitalizations, and lost work days. Together with the toll of premature deaths, the health damages from diesel fine particles will total $139 billion in 2010.
# Nationally, diesel exhaust poses a cancer risk that is 7.5 times higher than the combined total cancer risk from all other air toxics.

Klobuchar clearly doesn't understand the state of climate science, and she's WRITING key provisions of climate-change legislation?

Klobuchar, a member of the Environment and Public Works Committee, wrote key provisions of climate-change legislation the committee produced in December.
