Carbon is not the problem, it makes up 0.041% of our atmosphere , 95% of that is from Volcanos and decomposing plants and stuff. So people in the US are responsible for 13% of the carbon in the atmosphere which 95% is not from Humans, like cars and trucks and stuff and they want to spend trillions to fix it while Solar Panel plants are powered by coal plants

During the last three fiscal years totally under Bush, there were 9,661 "new leases" granted for federal lands. For the three most recent fiscal years (which includes a few months of Bush's administration), there were 5,568 such new leases. This works out to a 42.4% decrease.
Take the same comparable periods for drilling permits on federal lands. There were 20,479 for the last three years under Bush, then 12,821 for the most recent three including much of Obama's first term. This is a 37.4% decreaseCarbon is not the problem, it makes up 0.041% of our atmosphere , 95% of that is from Volcanos and decomposing plants and stuff.

The downfall happened under Bush, not Obama. Bush dragged our country down to an all time low - he raised the deficit, lowered income, AND destroyed the economy.
Not true. When Bush took office gas was $1.83 a gallon. When he left office, the average price of gas was $3.41. The price of gas under Bush almost doubled during his term. Meanwhile, gas dropped down to $2.43 while Obama was in office.
We discussed this during the debates when Romney said this. It wasn't true then, and it's not true now. Permits are down, but oil production on federal land is up - 14% according to fact check.Last edited by Rochard; 05-27-2013, 10:37 AM.Herschel Savage

Great, permits are down. But oil production is up.
http://factcheck.org/2012/10/obamas-drilling-denials/
Oil production in areas under federal jurisdiction increased under Obama. We again compared the last three full fiscal years of Bush?s term with the next three years, a period that falls almost entirely under Obama?s time in office
Oil production on federal lands and in federal waters grew by 14 percent ? or 241 million barrels of oil ? during that time (see table 2).
(The increase is 15 percent when we exclude fiscal year 2009 and compare fiscal years 2007 and 2008 with 2010 and 2011.)Herschel Savage

Permits came screaming to a halt due to the 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill.
This is nothing more than cherry picking stats. One sides picks a date range that produces stats that is favorable to their argument and ignores the rest. They picked a date range when permits dropped due to an environmental disaster and ignore that fact that oil production went up during the same period.Herschel Savage

Well for starters, new land isn't just coming out of no where.. Unless we take over Canada there isn't any new BLM land to just give away to the oil companies like they would like.
See the right thinks just because there is govt owned land, that oil companies should have access to all of it for their profit taking. The Right fails to realize that federal land is owned by the citizens of this country for their usage not just big oil's.
Therefore when Obama decided it wasn't worth the risk of damaging much of this environmentally sensitive land forever when compared to the oil it would produce. Obama decided the best option was to protect the federal land so that all US citizens could enjoy it and not just let big oil ruin it while gouging the American pubic.
Added bonus even Jeb Bush whom was a Republican Governor of Florida was against drilling off the Fl coast due to the negative impact it would have on Florida tourism. Not to mention the environmental issues that would occur if a spill took place.
God damn Liberal Jeb Bush I bet he even runs for President in 2016. Fucking Commie not letting big oil have their way! Oust him!Last edited by crockett; 05-27-2013, 11:36 AM.In November, you can vote for America's next president or its first dictator.Comment

Oil production is up because of Fracking.. Which is it's own subject of how bad that is going to fuck up the world's water supplies.
Simply put fracking allows them to get oil that they could never get before. Oil that we have a lot of in this country but they couldn't get it it until technology caught up. Canada also has a lot of this oil that is only available via fracking.In November, you can vote for America's next president or its first dictator.Comment
