    from the article;

    "There is an overwhelming consensus that action needs to be taken. Climate change is no longer a concern of a small number of people on the coasts. Interest in the environment has been growing for several years,"

      This is excellent news. I believe America could be a fantastic leader in finding the solution to global warming. As I've said before, I would rather see America lead in that initiative than follow someone else's lead.

        One hell of a good way to attack global warming, is to get rid of the nut-cases, running all over hell, and back screaming, the world is ending, and were all going to die.,global warming, is a bunch of S.H.I.T.got that.

          "get rid of the nut-cases"???

          takes one to know one

          How do you propose to "get rid" of them?

          Oh yeah, and you're wrong. It is not a bunch of [expletive deleted], your sources have been corrupted. The Pentagon, Exxon/Mobil, and George Bush all think the undeniable warming is being made worse by human industrial practices. They all know how much money there is to be made by selling the world new, clean technological infrastructure. We're gonna have to replace everything eventually anyway, so what's the problem? Are you just that lazy? Or too caught up in being afraid of all those other things besides Global Warming about which you are doing your fair share of fear-mongering, and have been since at least the days of the John Birch Society.

                This is good news. America is the only country that has the funds and swaying power to kickstart a plan to stop global warming. Bring it on!

                  I want a more efficient car. I want a cleaner environment. I want a heating system that uses half the fuel to do the same job in my house. If I have my wish list, I don't believe it will make any difference to global warming.

                      I don't think it really matters. Do what you can to live a more environmentally friendly life. You'll save money on your utility bills, help clean up the air and water supplies and that's not a bad thing. Why is it so awful to leave a softer footprint on the planet? It IS the only one we have.

                      Fingerpointing and blaming has no place in this discussion. Just do what you can to make it a better world. Shouldn't that just be common sense?

                        humans cannot stop blobal warming, period. Our changes would have little to no effect. In fact by ruducing co2 we are starving the plants that need up to 1000ppm and we now only have about 300. We are doing more harm than good

                          i think its EXTREMELY funny that you are trying bash Yale as not credible, or as some lying bastion of liberalism....

                          um, i have a question billybob, where do think your hero Duh-bya went to college?

                          heres a hint:

                          Y

                          A

                          L

                          E

                          the right did that in the elections too, tried to make Kerry look like some "eastern alitist" because he went to .........

                          Yale! hahahahahah

                          why is it that Kerry is an elitist because he went to Yale, but Duh-bya (who went there too) isnt?

                            and we will need large new govt agencies and taxes to set up this death match with the earth--just the latest money grab from the socialist big govt left--who really could care less if your children have clean air--as long as they can buy enough carbon credits to live in our unpolouted neighborhoods--and fly over you in our carbon credited private jets--and look down and say .. how compassionate are we..we care about all those little people down there..im just glad i dont have to live in all that dirt--stewardess..more champagne

                              i, for one, am glad that the american people are not waiting for our administration, which is both intellectually challenged AND integrity challenged to do something about this problem.
