Russian President Vladimir Putin has stated that he thinks that the scare in Western culture over climate change is a fraud, and designed to restrain industrial development in countries like Russia.

President Obama has promised to reduce U.S. carbon dioxide emissions by 25 to 28 percent by 2025. Not going to happen. But the attempt will be very costly, and useless. That pledge was meant to get China to sign on, but that’s not going to happen either. President Obama wants the country to reduce its emissions by 1.2 billion tons by 2025. The administration has already imposed $26 billion in costs to cut carbon emissions and other greenhouse gases from cars and power plants. Those 15 rules will cost $230 billion and stop just 0.06 degrees Celsius of global warming — that’s 6 one-hundredths of a degree. There’s more variation in temperature from one day to another.

The American people, in poll after poll, rank climate at the very bottom of their long list of concerns, but Obama soldiers on. Even the U.N.plan is only to have the capacity to limit temperature rise to around 2.7 degrees Celsius, by 2100. It is raining and 63º here today, and the forecast is for 56º tomorrow. Of course that’s Fahrenheit, not Celsius. What’s the difference? We need more carbon dioxide, not less. Carbon dioxide is not a pollutant, but a necessary building block of life. And Mr. Putin is correct, it is a fraud — but not to hold Russian industrialization back.
