Eco nuts not happy with this report

PITTSBURGH (AP) -- The Environmental Protection Agency has dramatically lowered its estimate of how much of a potent heat-trapping gas leaks during natural gas production, in a shift with major implications for a debate that has divided environmentalists: Does the recent boom in fracking help or hurt the fight against climate change?
Oil and gas drilling companies had pushed for the change, but there have been differing scientific estimates of the amount of methane that leaks from wells, pipelines and other facilities during production and delivery. Methane is the main component of natural gas.
The new EPA data is "kind of an earthquake" in the debate over drilling, said Michael Shellenberger, the president of the Breakthrough Institute, an environmental group based in Oakland, Calif. "This is great news for anybody concerned about the climate and strong proof that existing technologies can be deployed to reduce methane leaks."

Humanity makes up about 3.2% of CO2.

there ain't nothin we can do.

plus, one other thing, you know how the ozone works, right? Well, some materials when they burn or sit, start to release emissions that eat up the ozone layer. By that logic, we should all be long dead, right?
Wrong, arcing electricity forms ozone. Thus, every time you see lightning, you see the ozone healing itself.

The USA ranks at near the bottom of producers of carbon dioxide gas per $1,000 / GDP.

Short of ruining the economy even more, we can't afford more carbon dioxide reductions. The unemployment rate would skyrocket.
