The bad news: CO2 emissions continue to rise, reaching a record 3.2% increase in 2011. This is bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad.

The good news: most of the rise is attributed to China, offsetting reductions in the US and elsewhere. As a result, China will spend $27 billion "to promote energy-saving products, solar and wind power and accelerate the development of renewable energy and hybrid cars." My question to the "climate change is a hoax" crowd; there's obviously a market for dealing with CO2 -- real threat or otherwise -- does it make sense to sit this market out and let China dominate it, just to satisfy your religious belief that liberals are always wrong?

While Americans are losing their homes without any leeway or help, one of the financial players most responsible for the economic collapse and recession is getting off without being brought up on charges by the SEC.

The agency has been grappling with the case for more than three years amid questions from lawmakers and investors as to whether Lehman misrepresented its financial health before filing the biggest bankruptcy in U.S. history in September 2008.

Under a heading reading "Activity in Last Four Weeks," the undated document reads, "The staff has concluded its investigation and determined that charges will likely not be recommended."

According to the Republicans, the Obama administration is the most anti-capitalist team since whenever. Right? Right.
