Over two years ago, I declared Cap and Trade dead:

It's over, folks. Done. Only a third of the public thinks that Mankind has anything to do with climate change, and this with a one-sided media carpet bombing campaign. That means that it's basically Democrats who think this: the country is divided roughly into thirds (Democrat/Independent/Republican).

But it's worse than that - even Democrats don't care. Climate Change is stuck in the cellar of concerns among even self-described Democrats. If you can't even get the Party Faithful to give a damn, how are you going to get a multi-Trillion dollar restructuring of the World Economy going?

You aren't.

This was still early in the LightBringer's term.  What's happened since?  Nothing good for the Professional Green Lobby:

Graciela Kincaid said she was part of a study at Brown University this summer that reviewed 1,606 speeches since January 2008 by administration officials.

From Graciela Kincaid:

The ratio of the administration’s usage of “climate change” versus “energy” has changed significantly since Obama’s 2008 campaign days. ...

Noteworthy are the State of the Union speeches, meant to be indicators of the president’s agenda. These speeches regularly favor energy to climate change messages. In 2009, climate change was mentioned only once while energy came up 14 times; in 2010, climate change was mentioned three times to energy’s 15; and in 2011 while energy was mentioned 9 times, climate change was not mentioned at all.

Obama wants to get re-elected.  In other news of the obvious, the sun rises in the east.  Only someone in the Professional Green Lobby would need this pointed out.

But no need to thank me, it's all part of being a full service Global Warming Climate Change Global Climate Disruption™ blog.
