These people won't quit ever. They are trying their best to destroy America's economy.

My suggestion is that China, India, Mexico, and South America ought to engage in a little population control. Maybe Africa as well, even Indonesia.

This will of course be spun as 'The only way for the world to survive is for the United States to cease to exist."

YEa, I remember back in the 70's when they were carping and whining about the coming ice age, and the world running out of oil by 1990, then we would all freeze and starve to death.
These wierdo's are everywhere but reality with their silly theories and pronouncements.

A report backed by 1,360 scientists from 95 countries - some of them world leaders in their fields....heh heh...the same "scientists" that are beating the global warming drum, no doubt.
BTW, I didn't see the world class university or research orgization named that sponsored this "report" ...perhaps it is from "Joes research company and gym"??

Countries that burn wood tend to deforest land even though wood in tropical countries is burned for cooking and not for heat. The air polution is very bad from wood fires in many parts of the world.
With so many resources being used up I guess I will not be investing in North American Whale Bone Ltd.

The Earth is accepted by scientists to be around 4.5 billion years old source http://www.talkorigins.org/faqs/faq-age-of-earth.html
At this rate we only have 2.25 billion years left to go.

Over 15,000 scientist were signed on against the Kyoto Accords. They never mention THAT little fact, do they?

Same socialist solution as always, I presume: Stop everything until somebody really, really smart (Hillary) tells us riff-raff what to do.

Here we go again. Why don't the go give vasectomies to all these third world over-breeders, and themselves then? Stop the lavish waste at the UN and all that left over food from their feasts at luncheons from being tossed in the trash.
2/3rds used up my butt. We've barely touched them.

And just think....most of the water in this world has been drank over and over and over....and over. Recycled if you will...
Wow....that's a sobering thought. (g)
