Question for the UN: You and whose army?

[RightWhale]

The United States is the only major industrial nation

Since 1880.

[DGHoodini]

Hey, de Boer..then you just go right ahead and start without us...go on...go ahead...

[lepton]

The United States is the only major industrial nation to reject the U.N. climate treaty's Kyoto Protocol, which requires 37 nations to reduce greenhouse-gas emissions by an average 5 percent by 2012.

And aren't we one of only two of those major industrialized nations which had a drop in CO2 output last year?

[Czar]

In other words, the idea here is for the U.S. to assume a disproportionate share of the pain.

Most Americans are well aware of the UN Globaloney scam and want no part of it. I'll tell de Boer what's a "nonstarter" -- any program that involves the UN in even the tiniest respect.

Eff the UN and especially their jackass spokeman, de Boer.

[plain talk]

The U.S. is prepared to enter into binding international obligations to reduce greenhouse gases as part of a global agreement in which all major economies similarly undertake binding international obligations," said Daniel Price, according to a BBC report.

Even this is the wrong position for the U.S. to take. But irregardless of one's position on global warming there is no logical rationale for the U.S. to be fored to reduce pollution and not China and the developing world.

In other developments, more snow is covering the northern hemishpere than at any time since 1966 ... fact is, the Kyoto Protocal and all the puffery from the UN is just a weakly disguised trojan horse intended to undermine the US economy. They know it. We know it. The scary thing is that all the mewling liberals are frothing at the chance to open the gate.

Since Global Warming seems to be a dead issue because of Global Cooling, when is somebody going to stand up and put a halt to *any* political activities, national or international, based on the disproven theory?

Only fools go where their momentum is making them go, when they could change it, if it is obvious their momentum will carry them off a cliff.

[Reeses]

Water rights are based on “first in time, first in right” and is a good template to follow for CO2 emissions rights. Allotting resources equally per person is called communism.

[Sender]

Oh yeah, let’s just shift all manufacturing to China, get them pumping out tons of pollution and then only penalize the US. Now THAT’S a nonstarter.

[El Gato]

Question for the UN: You and whose army?

They won't need an army. McCain, Her Thighness or B. Hussein will drop the preconditions and sign right up to wreck the US economy, and that of the rest of the west as well. No Problem.

[hinckley buzzard]

"Greenhouse gas" emission in the United States, per capita, has remained stable since 1990. It has increased over 4% in the EU.

Let these bloated bureaucratic swill clean their own house before telling us what to do.

[goldfinch]

Bless George Bush for holding off the global warming crowd for 8 years. We would have been in deep do-do by now if Al Gore had been elected.

[G Larry]

NOTHING the U.N. ever does will have an effect on the climate.

They may go and play in the corner, but don’t bother communicating with America.

[Jim Noble]

Globaloney is "not realistic".

I am so tired of these clowns.

[Roy Tucker]

“But he said their insistence that China and other developing nations do the same ‘is not realistic.’”

Why not? China is the leading producer of CO2 gases in the world at a fraction of the US’ GDP.
