Amazing Shale: US CO2 Emissions Plummet Towards 1990 Levels

But the shale gas revolution makes a reality of many things recently thought impossible. Shale gas production has slashed carbon emissions and saved consumers more than $100 billion per year. Truly astonishing!

Ok, so if sea levels are rising, that's no longer "proof" that the globe is warming?
