Americans Can’t Burn Coal, But Obama knows Africa will have to.

Robert Bryce at National Review Online has an article that points out another example of the Dear Leader's hypocrisy.
Between 2002 and 2012, global carbon dioxide emissions rose by 8.4 billion tons. Over that time frame, U.S. carbon dioxide emissions (5.8 billion tons last year) could have gone to zero and yet global carbon dioxide emissions still would have increased. In fact, over that same period, carbon dioxide emissions from Asia alone grew by nearly 7.4 billion tons. Thus, as the latest BP data shows, just the increase in Asia’s carbon dioxide emissions exceeds the total emissions from both North America (6.9 billion tons in 2012) and Europe (7 billion tons).
