Joe Doakes from Como Park emails:
Obama wants to save the world.
It’s in danger from Global Warming.
Global Warming is caused by US carbon emissions.
Gasoline emits carbon so we need to reduce gasoline usage.
Driving gas prices to $5 per gallon would reduce gasoline usage.
Obama tried to drive gas prices higher by blocking the Keystone pipeline.
But higher pump prices made it affordable to increase oil production in North Dakota.
North Dakota oil brought down the world price of crude oil, hurting Saudi Arabia’s profits as an oil exporter.
Saudi Arabia cut its crude prices below cost to crush North Dakota oil; it partly worked – they’ve cut back.
Now Obama lifted sanctions on Iran so it can sell oil which will drive down the world price of crude.
Which should bring down gasoline prices at the pump.
So Americans can afford to drive more.
And create more carbon emissions.
To cause Global Warming.
And destroy the world.
Obama wants to save.
Damn that
Bush!
Heh.
In other news, the EPA, defender of the environment, “accidentally” releases over 1 million gallons of toxic mine waste into the Colorado river. They didn’t notify Colorado’s EPA until over 24 hours later. Now, there is orange water running from CO into AZ and NM. If they had any credibility at all before this, they have completely lost it.
And, they did not notify NM beforehand as they were required to – by law. Front page news? Hardly. Does not fit the narrative. Imagine if this was big bad Big Oil? Move along, sheeple.
Saw the spill story running on the Facebook pages of some of my Lefty Enviro-nut friends. The commentary was along the lines of: capitalists greed, Bushitlerburton, killing our environment, Cecil the Lion was a martyr, etc. When I pointed out that it was an EPA project that caused the spill and that the EPA hadn’t followed any of the protocols a private firm would have had to by law, the tone changed to stupid humans, we can’t be trusted, we shouldn’t be alive, etc. Honestly, these people are dumb.
Then there is this illustration of left wing hypocrisy:

BH429: Don’t you know conservation efforts are only for the little people? She’s too busy helping to create and enforce their rules to be worried about following those rules herself.
A liberal guy I work with told me that low oil prices were Obama’s doing.
In his (liberal guy) Econ class, the professor must have taught students that the President “runs the economy”? That’s the sort of foolishness he seems to peddling.
