Kyoto saves the world
« on: February 08, 2005, 02:40:00 PM »
NOT !

Many countries bound by Kyoto are running far above its overall goal of curbing rich nations' emissions of heat-trapping gases like carbon dioxide from cars, factories and power plants by 5.2 percent below 1990 levels by 2008-12.

Among Kyoto states, Spain and Portugal were 40.5 percent above 1990 levels in 2002, according to U.N. data.

Monaco, Ireland, Greece, New Zealand and Canada are all further over 1990 levels than the United States, whose emissions are 13.1 percent over the Kyoto benchmark year.



The US should adopt the treaty and then ignore it like most of the world is doing

so .... did you consider that the US had and has the largest output in the world

Do you understand that makes that 13.1% a huuuuge amount compared to other countries?

Climate change is here ... better just hope the gulfstream sticks around for awhile UK..... The British Isles could be in for some cold winters .....

they say it's about 50/50 that the gulf stream fails within this century.....

Remember, it's is all about $$$$ and profit.... whatelse is there?  :rolleyes:


idiots

You have been brainwashed.  First, there was the coming ice age.  Then the ozone hole.  Then global warming.  Then the coming ice age.  All caused by evil corporate thieves.  La Nina.  El nino.  Spotted owls.  The list goes on and on...

And the only common thread is that it's the same bunch trying to "save" you from the evil.

"they say it's about 50/50 that the gulf stream fails within this century..... "

These are the same people who wrote my grade-school textbooks, with their dire predictions of how the world would be completely out of gasoline by the year 2000.  

I guess that's the nice thing about being a pessimist--if your prediction doesn't come true this year, there's always next year (or decade or century).

Oh.


My.


Gawd.


I hope that is a troll.  If not, it is the single most ignorant thing I ever read.

I will assume it is a troll, and therefore laugh.
