FYI, the US has made the largest reduction in amount of CO2 emissions of any country in the world. Per capital CO2 usage in the US has gone down 19-20%, starting while W Bush was president.

I'm sure the great recession had some impact on that reduction. I wonder if anyone did a study.

I'm pretty sure it had an initial effect. But the biggest reduction was the big shift from coal power plants to plentiful, cheap natural gas from shale wells.
