The Center for American Progress reports:
Obama is famously low key. That's why on the hit Comedy Central show "Key & Peele", Keegan-Michael Key plays "Luther, President Obama's anger translator". The [annual White House Correspondents' Association dinner], however, is a rare place where the President can cut loose--as long as he uses humor.
In a hilarious admission that he has been too low key to convey the moral outrage justified by humanity's myopic march toward self-destruction--and by the brazen denial of climate science by many conservatives--Obama brought out "Luther" to express that outrage. And then, in an ingenious twist, Obama became so outraged that he didn't need Luther and in fact Luther himself couldn't take the genuinely angry Obama, who says of denial, "What kind of stupid, shortsighted, irresponsible, bull-"
Here's a video of the event.

Try reading the very first sentence of my post. Most people do that BEFORE responding, but, whatever floats your boat (except displacement of course, that supports global warming)...

Moving on, any slow down in China's CO2 emissions are probably due to their slow down in economic growth. Let us keep in mind that everyone else slowed down as well in CO2 emissions, in part for that same reason. Sure, shutting down their most polluting coal burning plants is nice, I even expected that. But it's more than replaced by more modern coal burning plants which still emit CO2. And when economic growth increases in the near future, it still looks to me like China will do the lion's share of the growing both in economic terms and in CO2 emissions.
