Well on the other hand you have to give credit where credit is due and President Clinton quietly locked down (to ensure the) USA pre eminence and dominance as the world's coal exporter! He did this at the beginning of his 8 year presidency, So this has been going on for at least 16 years!!! Who are the major customers? aka the Kyoto signers?
 
Warren Buffet ( investor that he is) long ago bought BIG stakes in TRAINS (this is all common knowledge). How are trains and coal related? Far and away the BIGGEST train customers are the COAL industries, oil, gas and followed by the commodities such as grains, etc.... If it were left to the "heavier" duty manufacturing (washing machines, etc,) trains would have folded LONG ago. Train companies have long been on the public dole.

I don't think your link goes where you think it goes. No mention of Biden in that story.

All I see is a story about Iran emitting a lot of CO2 into the atmosphere

NO ! It is not a story tie in. Biden's concept was PRE election. The link is just an interesting likely example.

Sorry, I'm not following how a missile defense story ties in with autos and GW. My doc made me swear off afternoon coffee, so it's probably not going to get any clearer either.

Directly it is probably peripheral: albeit HUGE red flags for those that follow these things. But it all depends on how you see the recent barrel of oil prices of 147. per vs projections of going to 50 all in very very short periods of time. Indeed it could drop below 50 literally overnight! Bloomberg has dated Brent spot 51.22

If I am off topic I will stop. But in the meantime, let me put something out there. President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was in TALL cotton with per barrel prices 147, what would you think is happening when the price you get is now -66% ? Keep in mind it (the price drop) has NOT triggered more demand !!! Indeed it has triggered DECREASED demand. Funny how that reality shoots holes in the liberal notion that the ONLY way to get down oil consumption is to raise prices!!?? Indeed have the auto unions ever struck to make management make cars American consumers will actually buy?

Scheduled shifts in Earth's orbit should plunge the planet into an enduring Ice Age thousands of years from now but the event will probably be averted because of man-made greenhouse gases, scientists said Wednesday.

They cautioned, though, that this news is not an argument in favour of global warming, which is driving imminent and potentially far-reaching damage to the climate system.
