C3: How Does Washington D.C. Area Rank Among 'Rogue' Global Warming U.S. States? One of The World's Worst

The Washington D.C. area has created a global warming climate with a temperature growth of +0.54F per decade. Compared to the 5 previously identified "worst" global warming U.S. states' temperature growth since 1962, the D.C. area would rank #3. In addition, the Washington D.C. area has CO2 emissions exceeding countries such as "Hungary, Finland, Sweden, Denmark or Switzerland, each of which has more people."

Since the professional political and bureaucrat elites living and working in the D.C. area have demonstrably been some of the worst global warming polluters in the world, they need to sacrifice all their climate-harming lifestyles immediately to fix the global warming problem. This is the only means to quickly facilitate the acceptance of world-saving CO2 emissions reduction by China and India. Honestly, how can we convince China's and India's elites to "do right" by the climate if our mega-tonnage, CO2-spewing U.S. elites are unwilling to make the sacrifice first? "YES, YOU CAN!"

Bill Clinton takes fossil-fueled trip to Brazilian ethanol summit

SAO PAULO (ICIS news)--Former US President Bill Clinton on Monday lauded Brazil’s ethanol programme, but he cautioned that climate change was a global problem that Brazil should not try to fight alone.

Clinton said that while sugarcane ethanol was the best option available for a renewable fuel, he said Brazil could not meet world demand for ethanol without wreaking environmental havoc at home.

If Brazilian ethanol production were to rise significantly, Brazil would use more of its land for agriculture and reduce the forests that remove carbon dioxide from the air and provide oxygen, he told delegates of the 2009 Ethanol Summit in Sao Paulo.

“There is no silver bullet,” he said.

The former US president encouraged Brazil to also consider developing a carbon trade market, similar to what is being done in the US.

Clinton said he expected the US will adopt an effective carbon trade system that would be more than empty legislation.

“The US Congress today is much more progressive than it was 10 years ago,” he said.
