USA has reduced CO2 emissions more than any other nation due to natural gas replacing coal

According to climatologist Dr. Patrick Michaels, it’s “the good old USA, and that’s because we’ve been substituting natural gas for coal for power generation” as can be seen in the top chart above, which shows that CO2 emissions from electric power generation in the US last year were the lowest in 28 years, going all the way back to 1988. How often is that reported in the media?

That may be a bad thing as our agriculture depends upon CO2 to keep thriving, healthy plants growing.

Is this a nefarious plot to kill our food production bonanza?

Air flows west-to-east at our latitude so we'll get China's CO2 while screwing the Europeans out of theirs.

I really didn't realize I was breathing Jerry Brown's filthy exhaust.  I need a facemask.
