May 26, 2007, 3:29 p.m.Um, not sure about if the G8 applies to third-world countries but, the reason we didn't join the Kyoto is because of that. All our businesses will go to China and India because the regulations won't apply to them. Kind of stupid if you ask me. I mean it is GLOBAL warming so does it really matter where the greenhouse gas emissions are being put out.. I say we shouldn't sign ****** until it applies to all countries.

May 26, 2007, 3:34 p.m.Not the US, just the irrelevant Bush Administration. We cannot allow them to mkake any more disasterous decisions. They have proven to be mental lighhtweights, playground bullies but not anyone you would trust with any weighty decisions given their horrific track record.

May 26, 2007, 4 p.m."The US is criminal for not agreeing" , for God sakes Green Peace shut up !
Can't sign up for what is not proven and forcing people to believe is no way to go about it either .
Look around all the animals and insects seem to be in balance nothing seems to be out of place .
For Heaven sakes go outside and look at nature for once and quit quoting numbers and spreading F.U.D. .

May 26, 2007, 6:11 p.m.Trash the environment, pollute the air and the water, trash the cities.
There are no consequences and anything pointing the other way is invented by the liberals.
Our government (The best ever) is always right. Thia arrogant Europeans, Asians, Latin Americans, Africans etc. do not have the authority to push non sense on us.
Stay together around Dubya, let FoxNews guide our lives, elect Bill O'Reilly or Ann Coutler for the presidential period starting in 2000.

May 26, 2007, 6:16 p.m.Man-made global climate change is a theory and a theory only. Al-jazeera Goreleone is a crackpot and a washed up has been political hack, who is desperately trying to stay relevent.This is all bs/fluff to preface his getting into the '08 presidential race. He doesn't have a snowball's chance of being elected, but if he runs Hillary and Osama Obama are toast. More and more scientists are owning up to the fact that global warming is junk science. The holdouts are leftist/european socialist types and the rest know they will lose their funding for their research if they don't "play ball".
BTW, THE NEXT PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES WILL BE....

May 26, 2007, 6:17 p.m.It will go over your head so do not bother to read.
Humans are self destructive creatures of habit. You need only to look at the record of human habitation on this world and assuredly know, we will destroy what is. Wars and human barbarity is the norm.
Arguments for and against climate change due to human interaction shows the disparity between opposing sides. Even this one "simple" idea is promoted to dissent. Your grandchildren will inherit the bounties that the earth provides and each and every year the bounties dwindle. From overpopulation, with religious zeal, to exhausting our resources many humans will deny what is factual and just plain observable with the naked eye. You will deny the truth since many who are in power would promote propaganda to refute what is.
So self destruct, I could give a S@@@. Bush and Cheney epitomize my thoughts, so have at it. The conservative hawks which propogate every nation would destroy evolution.

May 26, 2007, 7 p.m.It really doesn't matter if you agree or disagree with the G8s position on this particular issue, the fact remains that the primary objective of G8 is to eliminate the working middle class for the advancement of the top 10% of the people controlling the worlds wealth. Therefore anyone who believes that "they" are trying to accomplish anything for the "common good" are mistaken.

May 26, 2007, 8:55 p.m.Basically, the argument against stopping pollution and man-made climate change by the US can be summed up by the following statement:
"But mom! China and India get to make a mess! Why can't I?!"
Childish, just plain childish.

May 27, 2007, 4:05 a.m.As long as there is reasonable doubt as to the DEGREE of human influence on global climate, why don't we(*) all agree to focus on accelerated development of renewable energy - rather than purchasing GHG emission reductions from Mr. Putin (or funding heating plants in China?)
(*) I'm a Danish citizen - and I believe much reasonable doubt still exists.

May 27, 2007, 9:48 p.m.Anyone who doubts global warming is not exacerbated, if not caused by accelerated human-made CO2 emissions is either ignorant or just plain brain dead. Bush and company don't give a rat's butt about caring for the earth, which they allege was created by their god. They just want to get their hands on the 25% of the world's undiscovered oil and natural gas buried under the Arctic icecap, which will no longer exist in 10-15 years. Unfortunately, neither will much of anything else, except Hummers and morons who drive them.

May 28, 2007, 12:18 a.m.To all the global warming deniers who claim ot is all solar phenonoma - let me propose this , go land on the sun & do real field analysis - & since you have such great scientific knowledge, you may ask "how do we do that without being instantly incinerated?" - you of great scientific knowledge should know - Land at night!

May 28, 2007, 1:15 a.m.Zaph - never once mentioned Gore or neocons or politics if you weren't so blinded you will see I implied that global warming deniers, which in the sense of this thread mean those who deny global warming as being a man made phenonoma, beloeve it is being caused by greater solar activity
TO USE YOUR OWN WORDS PREVIOUSLY POSTED-
"
know you believe the evidence that points to solar activity being the cause of global warming, "
you may say the quote is out of context, but that is your belief as so stated many times by you

May 28, 2007, 2:09 a.m.Zaph -- using your own words again-
"
that people like you on the left stop listening and just assume conservatives don't want to do anything about pollution. "
What makes you need to label a person as liberal or conservative simply on their opinion of the cause of global warming?
Why do you assume I support Gore? Just because I might say some of the same things he does, how do you know I wasn't saying that way before he was busy developing the internet.
Don't give conservatism a bad name by equating it with a closed mind

May 28, 2007, 4:38 a.m.DO wake up America.
The greatest brains in the world on Oil conservation state we have maybe 15-20 years left.
USA diplomacy has caused deep rifts through out the world.
Ask the neigbours Canada Mexico what it is like to live next door to the bully boys.
USA could have led the world now we have Russia China and India stepping up to the plate.
Get some leaders in who will make a difference.
Dont vote the money vote the brain power.
