Since when do the results of a scientific study have to be "discussed" with government representatives, *before* being released to the public and, more importantly, the rest of the scientific community? I guess it's to make sure the conclusions and most importantly the recommendations, are politically, rather than scientifically, correct. That is, ones that will give those governments, and the UN itself, *more* power.
Pull up the top 500 environmentalists and green politicans...and ask them to bring their yearly gas and electricity bill into the studio...I will bet that all 500 use at least twice what a normal American family uses...and almost all have houses that are 1500 sq feet or bigger. You can smell where this is going.
I've tired myself out trying to read all of the science coverage and I've come to realize in the past week that these dimwits are the ones using up three, five, ten and even twenty times the amount of power as the typical American family. They are the cause of the mess and they can fix this...IF THEY want to get involved. They want us to feel quilty for their contributions to the problem. Frankly...we need to call up Larry King when they appear. We need to call NPR when they appear on Science Friday. We need to openly challenge them to tell us about their lifestyle....and make them admit what they are doing to the environment. Every conference they attend in Malayasia....they burn a heck of alot of fuel to get to it. They need to explain alot before I ever waste any more time on this science issue.
