Feb. 12, 2007 issue - Enough already. It is time to call some bluffs. John Kerry says that one reason America has become an "international pariah" is President Bush's decision to "walk away from global warming." Kerry's accusation is opaque, but it implies the usual complaint that Bush is insufficiently enthusiastic about the Kyoto Protocol's binding caps on emissions of greenhouse gases. Many senators and other experts in climate science say we must "do something" about global warming. Barack Obama says "the world" is watching to see "what action we take."

it was then rejected by major nations such as Russia....
Spot on.
Very good.
"Are we sure the climate at this particular moment is exactly right, and that it must be preserved, no matter the cost?"
That's the part that gets me. It used to be conservatives that were assumed to be against change. But the left's enthusiasm for swamps (wetlands), jungles (rain forest), and other throwbacks to undeveloped real estate points to a mindset that what we have today must be maintained as if it were the pinnacle of some global effort. The same goes for the better-than-an-Ice-Age climate.
Progress is change, but the progressives don't want it.
If a sycophant, global warming book-promoting guest slips and casts an infinitesimal doubt Mr. Bell is on them to recant!
Was it the lukewarm reception -- even some ridicule on the Today Show -- his book received and now that there's much chatter about "global warming" his ego is contemptuously shouting, "I told you so! I told you so!"? Maybe.
I believe that we are entering a cycle, what can we do about it? Mr. Bell, et al offer only banal Bush-bashing alternate-engery stuff, dire warnings, and Kyoto's extreme taxes on energy for us and transfer of the money to developing nations (China and India?).
Most were in violation.
Anyone heard if this is still the case?
Kyoto was rejected by the USA because it is just socialist bull doodie.
Nise Jab!! Wonder how much Blood for Oil Kerry burned getting his arse over to rip the US?? Probably took his G5 and burned 2 tons of oil. So who is the real Pariah??
Pray for W and Our Troops
LOL! I guess these guys didn't study and work hard enough at Polar Bear High.
I have heard that. I read it somewhere and have been trying to find it for the past couple of days.
Addressing the question of whether or not GW occurs is NOT part of the IPCC's mission. If the IPCC were to find that global warming in fact is not a dire threat, it would be disobeying the very orders under which it was created.
By now everyone should be clear: IPCC is a political organization, not a scientific one. It generates political documents, not scientific reports. It has a minority of members who are scientists, most of whom are not experts on climate, but who are politically obedient.
The IPCC represents the Lysenko-ization of meteorology.
Laughing My A$$ Off!!!
Full fuel on a G550 is 41,300 lbs - nearly 21 tons.
The "lower rent" G500 only takes 35,200 lbs - just short of 18 tons.
