"America’s carbon-dioxide emissions are actually falling. In fact, they have not been this low since 1992, say A. Barton Hinkle. And while no single factor can account for the entire shift, much of the credit goes to something environmentalists often detest: hydraulic fracturing, or fracking"

Billionaire oilman David Koch used to joke that Koch Industries was "the biggest company you've never heard of." Now the shroud of secrecy has thankfully been lifted, revealing the $61.48 million that he and his brother Charles have quietly funneled to climate-denial front groups that are working to delay policies and regulations aimed at stopping global warming, most of which are part of the State Policy Network.

Today, the Kochs are being watched as a prime example of the corporate takeover of government. Their funding and co-opting of the Tea Party movement is now well documented.

Charles G. Koch and David H. Koch have a vested interest in delaying climate action: they've made billions from their ownership and control of Koch Industries, an oil corporation that is the second largest privately-held company in America (which also happens to have an especially poor environmental record). It's timely that more people are now aware of Charles and David Koch and just what they're up to. A growing awareness of these oil billionaires' destructive agenda has led to increased scrutiny and resistance from people and organizations all over the United States.

So, you guys hate Gaea and you want CO2 levels to rise? Not surprising.

Me and ALGORE want unicorn farts to power the planet.

The opposition to Hydraulic Fracking isn't from the CO2 crowd, but from the "don't use machines to beat the shit out of the ground then pump chemicals in to make the gas rise" crowd.

The DEA appear to have missed the point again.
