Title: Obama Inauguration Will Generate More than Half-Billion Pounds of CO2

Here’s an environmental impact story you’re not likely to see in the mainstream media. Neither NBC’s chief environmental affair correspondent Anne Thompson, nor ABC correspondent Bill Blakemore nor CBS “60 Minutes” correspondent Scott Pelley – all of whom have been eager over the years to expose so-called crimes against the environment – have rushed to report on the massive carbon footprint of the Obama inauguration.

But a comprehensive new study by The Institute for Liberty (IFL) took an in-depth look at each component of the Jan. 20 inauguration in Washington, D.C., and estimated that 575 million pounds of carbon dioxide will be emitted in the atmosphere for the inauguration – which is roughly equal to what the average American household would produce in 57,598 years.

Speaking with the Business & Media Institute, IFL President Andrew Langer noted the hypocrisy of the event having so large an environmental impact, especially in light of the strong stands promoting the case for manmade global warming of many of Obama’s cabinet picks. Even Secretary of State Designate Hillary Clinton characterized climate change as a national “security threat.”

Well there's good CO2 and bad CO2.

Al Gore flying all over the world spreading his line of BS = good CO2

Bush flying to Iraq to visit troops and have talks with Iraqis = bad CO2

You driving your car to work = bad CO2

Hollywierd starlet flies to Vail Co. to go skiing = good CO2

Anything Obama = good CO2.

etc., etc.
