In September, the Obama administration announced the new fuel economy standards for cars and light trucks, as well as the first carbon dioxide emissions standard that would require model-year 2016 vehicles to meet an estimated combined average emission level of 250 grams of carbon dioxide per mile.
Now The New York Times is reporting that the Obama administration is likely to announce an overall, nationwide greenhouse gas reduction target ahead of the climate change summit in Copenhagen December 7-18. Possibly, this would get at some of the other sources besides cars that contribute to the warming of the planet.
But no one is talking in specifics. And so far it appears unlikely that any treaty coming out of the December talks will be fully funded, much less legally binding. Now back to our usual reporting on cars.

Global warming is a politically motivated hoax, as many of us have known for years. The truth is starting to get wider dissemination, but the Marxists of the world, like our current president, doesn't want to admit it. He wants to take away more of our liberty and knock America down.
Look at what he's doing, and not what he says.

You really should study history more to see what Marxism really is.
He is not even close.
