Shame of the Nation

Time for a list-

"Largest Per Capita Carbon Footprint" according to a study by the Brookings Institute:

1. Lexington-Fayette County.
2. Indianapolis.
3. Cincinnati-Middletown (Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana).
4. Toledo.
5. Louisville (Kentucky-Indiana).
6. Nashville-Davidson-Murfreesboro, Tenn.
7. St. Louis.
8. Oklahoma City.
9. Harrisburg-Carlisle, Pa.
10. Knoxville, Tenn.

Many of the variables leading to any given area's ranking are beyond it's control. However, other variables are clearly under the area's control- primarily, automobile emissions.

4 of the top 5 areas are within a 100mi radius, centered on Cincinnati.

This is appalling and shameful. Us MORONS must be the laughing stock of the country today...and Al Qaeda has probably put us on their MVP list. I can hear UBL now, "Burn that petro, Ohio Valley! Hang yourself in that heavy metal stew!"

The Cliff Blog sincerely apologizes to the rest of the United States for our screwed up way of life here. We are truly pathetic.
