Your Statement is simply false. Wrong. Incorrect...Unless you're writing about the European Union. "A December 20 press release says the EIA study, entitled "Emissions of Greenhouse Gases in the United States 2001," reports that greenhouse gas emissions totaled 1,883 million metric tons of carbon equivalent last year, compared with 1,907 million metric tons in 2000. The report said the 2001 decline of 1.2 percent is in contrast to an average annual growth rate of 1.3 percent observed during the decade of 1990-2000....Estimated U.S. emissions of carbon dioxide, which account for more than 80 percent of total U.S. greenhouse gas emissions, decreased by 1.1 percent in 2001, the largest annual decline of the 1990 to 2001 period. " - Dec 2002 US State Dept. The actual report: ftp://ftp.eia.doe.gov/pub/oiaf/1605/cdrom/pdf/ggrpt/057301.pdf re:"No, the rate of growth in greenhouse gas decreased. The actual amount was still increasing from already very high levels."

Tuesday, July 22, 2003 MOSUL, Iraq — U.S. soldiers stormed a house in the northern Iraqi city of Mosul (search) Tuesday, killing four key allies of Saddam Hussein (search) who were hiding inside, and a U.S. official told Reuters there was a "decent chance" that Saddam's sons were inside. The house, a large villa, belonged to Saddam's cousin, and it was burned to the ground after a loud, four-hour gunbattle. Residents of the city, 280 miles north of Baghdad, said the American soldiers were searching for Saddam's sons, Qusai and Udai (search), who have been reported in the area. "Individuals of very high interest to the coalition forces were hiding out in the building," Lt. Col. William Bishop of the 101st Airborne Division (search) told Reuters. "This morning we went to the building and surrounded it." Bishop said one Iraqi had been killed and five wounded in the battle. Reuters reported that several "high-interest personalities" had been detained. The military, reporting communications problems, said it had no information on the incident. According to the Reuters report, U.S. soldiers were fired at by people inside the house as they approached, and the Americans called in helicopters and an unmanned vehicle for assistance before storming the house. The United States has offered a $25 million reward for information leading to Saddam's capture, and $15 million for his sons. Fox News' Greg Palkot contributed to this report
