But even with funding for green energy increasing and one of the most persistent promoters of information on global warming (Nobel Prize recipient Al Gore) reaching celebrity status, we are seeing a startling net increase in the emissions of the greenhouse gas Carbon Dioxide and a revitalized political commitment to dependence on oil, foreign and otherwise.

We are seeing such staggering figures as 9.34 billion tons of carbon dioxide in our atmosphere, which figures to a 3% increase of emissions in a single year (2006-2007). The IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) came nowhere near that figure when predicting the worst-case scenario last year in a global warming report in which they estimated a possible 6.4% increase of greenhouse gasses by 2099.

One problem lies in the developing co

So rapidly developing countries are a rapidly developing problem, as predicted. The problem in America?
