Talkers Are No-Good Doers, As Mom Used To Say

Non-Kyoto beats Kyoto at Kyoto goals. I've posted this statistic previously, but this passage puts it in juicily delicious context.

Two weeks ago the Department of Energy released preliminary figures showing that U.S. GHG emissions declined by 1.3 percent in 2006 while the economy grew by 3.3. percent. This is significant: It is the first time U.S. GHG emissions have fallen in a non-recessionary year. In most European nations, GHG emissions went up last year; in fact, the U.S. has improved its energy efficiency faster than Europe over the last six years.

Rah!
