(U.S will have to join Kyoto)
Over my dead body.
Over my one-ply square of toilet paper....
Canada just dumped Kyoto.
Reminds me of the stargate,sg1 episode where the majority of society was kept toiling in subsistance factories and propagandized for communal suffering and sacrifice while the rest of the world lived in elitist entitlement.
IOW only the little people will be forced to pay the price for the elites.
From the same organization that gave us ‘Oil for Food’?
No thanks. My dogs are brighter than most at the UN.
And they don’t embezzle from me.....
They could have had the US join Kyoto, but they chose not to. All they had to do is make it a balanced treaty instead of placing all of the burden of greenhouse gas reduction on the US.
Why would our Nation want to join the CULT?????
Stand by to pay the “Carbon Tax”!!!
Under a best-case scenario for heading off severe damage, the global economy might lose as little as 3 percentage points of growth by 2030
No one ever achieves the best case scenario. What’s the worst case? 50%? That would be the more likely outcome.
Lets get all our facts correct...especially the UN folks. First...the US signed the Kyoto treaty once already (under Clinton...although Bill couldn’t bring himself to sign the amusing treaty)...but it is signed. The senate then stepped in and voted 98-0 not to comply with the treaty because it would cost jobs. So...the US can’t really comply....even if Bush wanted to comply...because the senate hasn’t approved the treaty.. For those in the UN who are not familiar with the US gov’t...you can have thousands of treaties signed by various fools in the White House or state department...but unless the senate votes to approve...it is not an approved treaty.
As for any UN scientist who suggest nuclear power as an answer to global warming...while they may be true-to-their science...it is not the supported position of any global warming group that I have ever heard of. Nuke power is wrong because it provides unlimited power...to the masses...at a cheap price...which is forbidden in a green world.
Finally....forget about the US as the bad guy in three years. China will be the absolute bad guy in pollution and global warming. There is a short timespan for the global dimwits to capitalize on this episode.
The primary goal.
I read the IPCC is revising their forecasted sea level rise to something like 0.5M or less, not 6M.
How I help with the climate change is a 6.0 litre V8.
“How I help with the climate change is a 6.0 litre V8.”
On
My last engine rebuild/swap in my 65 PU I changed out the 283 for a 350.
Not only for performance but someone needs to counter the Prius drivers.
Repeat it often enough, people will believe it. The Senate said it wouldn't ratify Kyoto back in 1998, and Clinton never submitted it. Bush also simply refused to submit it. The reason for everyone not going along is that it gives a free pass to "developing" nations like China (which will, as a Kyoto country, surpass us in CO2 in 2010).
IOW, to put this on Bush's head is a flat-out lie meant to make it look like he doesn't care about the environment.
Yes. They need to be flexible.
Had to laugh. I saw monster of a Pickup a few weeks ago with a bumper sticker saying, “Yes it’s my Pickup, and No I won’t help you move” You need to have one that says “Yes it’s my truck, but there my carbon credits and I’ll use them any way I want to.”
