We need to kick the UN out of the US and get the US out of the UN. As Pres Bush said, we had a 3% increase in GDP yet had a 1.5% emission reduction this past year which is basically a -4.5% in emissions per gdp $. Last I heard Europe was still increasing. Go hit them up for some money.

That ignores the fact that global warmings is bull, especially that it is man made.

Exactly. The entire Third World wants the same standard of living the developed West does. And they will not deny it to their own people just so a handful of Western environmental elitists can have a good night's sleep.

...thanks for that important link!

PhotoShopped pictures of polar bears drowning and elephants mummified in Africa; the list is nearly endless. One scientist has linked more than 600 bogus science websites to the topic “global warming.” Almost all are alarmist, if not just plain dishonest...

for example, last night on the TV 'news' in Oz we were treated to another nightly 'global-warming' lecture - not a single day passes without one. The 'effects' were illustrated by a number of dead donkeys lying in the sand GUESS WHERE? On the outskirts of a camp in DARFUR!

'Get me an image of some dead animals, quick! We can't keep using those polar bears on icebergs, the viewers need something new to jolt them - and never mind the context...'

Yep. Even the genocide in Darfur is useful to push the global warming b*llsh*t.

I agree. Didn't I read somewhere that 16 of the 20 worst polluted cities in the world were in China?

That they want to zap the US and give China a pass just goes to show that all this economic mumbo jumbo is pointed squarely at the US economy.

Screw em.

Without action, temperatures will rise, resulting in droughts, severe weather, dying species and other consequences

Yet they will not let us develop the resources of outer space.

In Oz the Left is using CUBA as a shining example of a self-sustaining economy and praising their recycling methods...a recent ‘documentary’ showed PEDAL POWER as an alternative transportation method (husband pedalling, rikshaw fashion -wife and children sitting in a contraption fastened to the rear wheel) Recycling plastic bags - washing them, hanging them out to dry on the balcony and taking them to market to sell!

Life in Cuba must be the ultimate utopia...

If the US is such a big part of the problem, how is it that we are breathing clean air everywhere while the air in Bejing is toxic?

There was a time when I rode the bicycle to work year round, and as far as I know I was the only bicycle out in the winter. But, car drivers got progressively worse and I gave up and got the Chevy just to even the odds. I do not hang plastic bags out the windows to dry and at 55 mph they would not hold up well anyway.

You’ve expressed my sentiments exactly.

The U.N. can stick Kyoto up their keyhole.

This turkey is still cooking and many cannot wait to taste it. The public seems about to swallow a bitter tasting bird. This bird will bring Marxist control over most industries, a huge transfer of wealth from the developed to undeveloped world, a depressed world economy, and certainly no impact on the climate.

Madness is contagious.

“Men, it has been well said, think in herds; it will be seen that they go mad in herds, while they only recover their senses slowly, and one by one.”
Charles Mackay, author of the great 1841 classic “Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds”

Fred Thompson has this one figured out also:

China pollutes atleast as much or slightly more than the US.

We have a population of 300 million, China, some 1.4 Billion.

If we ran things like China does today, we would all be chocking to death on the fumes.

SOme of the worst pollution is in Communist or former Communist areas. Poland and Russia come to mind.

WHen I was in the Komi Republic (1000km North of Moscow) - I had a hard time getting my head around how dirty everything was - trash in the streets (mounds and mounds) broken bottles on playgrounds, etc, etc.

I guess the Lady Bird Brainwashing of the 60s did some good here....
