These people are so transparent, unfortunately there's a lot of people that buy into this nonsense.

[Jeff Chandler]

in 10 years the economic cost of disasters like floods, frosts, and famines caused by global warming could reach $150 billion annually.

That's a lot cheaper than crippling our economy.

[raloxk]

These morons forget, Kyoto would do absolutely nothing to stop global warming and would cost trillions of dollars

[Semper Paratus]

If its "Irreversible" then there's nothing to do but buy more shorts.

[sauropod]

Comment?

[spunkets]

The socialist con continues...

[BenLurkin]

Well, if it is irreversible, I guess I'll go buy that SUV after all.

And do what? Shut power plants, close factories and ride horses? Someone still needs to explain to me how it is that we had prior ice ages, that the Gulf Stream changed course over 20 times before and now it's human activity causing the phenomena. What caused the earlier episodes ??

Adapt, improvise, and overcome!

They pretend those types of things never happened, just like the big volcano at the end of the ninetenth century around the Philippines that threw one helluva lot of debris in the air didn't happen.

I'm sure when we have our next ice age (not if, but when), those types will try to blame it on humans and ignore the fact that it's a part of the cycle.

Barbecued deer on an open spit in the Adriondacks.

[Redcloak]

Once it's officially "irreversible", will they finally shut up and leave us alone?

[Blood of Tyrants]

The idea is to force industry and jobs out of the United States to countries with little or no emissions standards and achieve backdoor global redistribution of wealth. Of course it won't work to do anything but to make everyone equally miserable.

[Doctor Stochastic]

That's the big political problem. The Kyoto treaty did nothing to halt the increase of greenhouse gasses. It only transferred wealth from the US to the polluters.

[raloxk]

it also exempted India, China, Brazil and Mexiico. Proof that is want concerned about stemming CO2 emissions from the new growht countries of the 21st century but punishing the USA

[GOPJ]

Twenty-five years ago, they said the west coast of Florida would be under water by now. I'm still waiting.

[boop]

The "WRI"? what exactly makes them a "leading" environmental group? Are there some kind of Final Four ranking systems for leftist groups, or are they all "leading"?

"The idea is to force industry and jobs out of the United States to countries with little or no emissions standards and achieve backdoor global redistribution of wealth."

I thought free trade and outsourcing was doing just that. Oh well, add global warming to the list.
