Yesterday John Hinderaker<\/a> at Power Line <\/a>posted an article about President Obama’s<\/a> commitment to clean up the environment.<\/p>\n

The article includes two charts that show why the President’s environment policies will not have an impact on CO2 emissions worldwide:<\/p>\n

So why is the environment such a high priority for President Obama? As usual, follow the money.<\/p>\n

The article explains:<\/p>\n

First, the Left has made an enormous investment in promoting misinformation about global warming<\/a>. You can\u2019t get through elementary school in the U.S. without being hectored about your family\u2019s carbon footprint<\/a>. (\u201cI will never live in a house bigger than John Edwards<\/a>\u2019,\u201d my then-third-grade daughter wrote in response to a question about what she, personally, intended to do to change the Earth<\/a>\u2019s climate.) Those millions of misinformed people are now voters, and Obama is secure in the knowledge that the newspapers and television networks haven\u2019t done anything to educate them.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Second, to the Obama administration, the fact that \u201cgreen\u201d energy cannot survive without government subsidies<\/a> and mandates isn\u2019t a bug, it\u2019s a feature. It allows the Democrats to slide billions of dollars to their cronies, like Tom Steyer<\/a>, the left-wing billionaire who is now the number one financial supporter of the Democratic Party<\/a>. Steyer made his first fortune by developing coal projects, and is making his second fortune as a Democratic Party crony, developing uneconomic but heavily subsidized \u201cgreen\u201d energy projects. So the war on coal and other sources of CO2, while it can\u2019t have any impact at all on the climate, has turned into a funding mechanism for the Democratic Party.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Next time someone produces a dictionary and is looking for a definition of the word \u201ccynic,\u201d all he needs is a picture of Barack Obama.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It really isn’t about the environment.<\/p>\n
