What do you think about it?

I think the theory that humans are creating global warming is bunk.  A correlation and a causal relationship are two different things.

The planet went through climate changes long before we got here, it will continue to long after we are gone.

I did think this was funny though:

While stressing it was too soon to discuss "tactics to punish the United States,"
                  Wallstroem said she will go to Washington next week with an EU delegation to
                  seek clarification of the Bush administration's position.

Bush has more balls than I thought.

yes mietla, and he's thinking with them. Guess the almighty green paper is more important than the air he will leave for his grandchildren.

"The planet went through climate changes long before we got here, it will continue to long after we are gone. "

While I'll happily agree that Global Warming is not necesarrily caused by pollution, doesnt change the fact that pollution isnt good.

If the sun eventually does that supernova thing, will that cause global warming too?

If they can't predict the weather day after tomorrow accurately, how the heck can ya believe them over a longer period of time????

Global warming is a political tactic to undermine capitalism!!  Nothing more, nothing less.

[Naudet]

The USA again think (or is it only Mr. Bush) they are the world and what they do doesnt effect others.

I really hope this egoistic view will soon fall back on them.

Your average sized volcanic eruption creates more air pollution (hazardous
particle /chemical emmision) then the world as a whole has created since the begining of this century.


Of course pollution is not good, but global warming is a junk theory. It is based on a period of less than 100 years of recording, an amount of time that is only an instant, of an instant, of an instant of the earth's geological cycle.

Perhaps when the earth leaves the present warming trend the theory might be valid, but the climate is still warming from a cold period during the 1400's (a mini-ice age if you will) that the global warming advocates are reluctant to present.

Dear American Captain's of Industry,

I am pleased to announce that with immediate effect, you are now free to emit whatever you want, providing that the end result is a profit. Feel free to emit as many particulates as you want, heavy metals, PCBs, Phenols, high BOD/COD chemicals, C02, nitrous oxides, sulphur oxides.

Our position is clear: refuse any restriction relating to climate change, and open the door to the flouting of any restriction of emissions.

Acid rain doesn't happen in this administration.

Yours with respect,

Mr. George Bush
CEO, United States of America

PS. I respectfully advise you to relocate some of your more 'sensitive' operations to third world nations, until our agenda has reached fruition. I am informed that there is still plenty of real-estate in the Bhopal area for development.

Hm, I understood that the changes we've ahd in the last few decades have been unmatched in history.

Weathern patter and so forht can be studied by drilling deep into the ice caps, and there hasn't been such a quick warmup as the one we're currently experiencing.

There was a new report released recently that showed a stronger correlation between greenhouse gasses and global warming that previously thought. I'd have to look it up, so don't bug me about it til i do :9.

At any rate, it's sad when the environment gets to take a step back for big business, especially since there was some sort of frame agreement, with other nations trying hard to do their part. I ain't a treehugger by any rate, but do believe that we CAN limit our emissions without losing profits, by just being a bit smarter.

Don't like this Bush decision.

Not even going to get into the environmental side of the debate, that one's obvious. But more importantly it gives an indication of how much Bush's word has value for him: It's only been a few weeks since he stated that he would respect the Kyoto treaty and now he withdraws his promise as easily as he made it.

Point: This kinda makes clear that the man that so many people depend on for leadership and integrity (his words) can't be trusted in anything he says. Sad isn't it....

I didn't vote for Bush, but I did respect him.  With this most recent broken promise, my respect for him is running dry.  And what's up with the Bush Administration meeting a self-proclaimed Chechen 'foreign minister'??  Chechnya is a part of Russia, like Florida is a part of the USA.  We've got no right sticking our nose in Russia's business.
