Well, look into the article:
"UK was responsible for only about 2% of the world's emissions while the US, with just 4% of the world's population, produced more than 20%. "


In rough terms, if every earthling was the equal of the American, CO2 emission would go to....500% of what it is now. That also would mean that the oil drained 500% faster.

But, us earthlings won't stop anyway, so what's the fuss....

BTW, a theoretical question Lazs2:

If the gasoline would cost you 1.7$ pro LITER, would you think people would consider saving it a tad?

Does it automatically make it correct if a government announces it to be so?

The British government also believed in Iraqs WMD's and Niger yellowcake.

Yes, except they never got anything on the Geiger counter while they did get something on their termometer :D

The thermometer just tells you the temperature.  It does not tell you why the temperature is what it is.

I have noticed today that the temp change from around 6:00 AM until 2:00 PM has been around 15 degrees. Is this global warming?

Iceland is on the SI measurement system isn't it? Why 64 deg north and not 1.117 Radians north?  Why are we still on this antiquated latitude and longitude degrees-minutes-seconds way of navigation?

And don't say its because we measure longitude with a clock because if that were so it would be hours-minutes-seconds.

angus.... I take it your solution is to raise the price of gasoline so that people will buy more economical cars so that there is more for the chinesse to use?

exactly how many minutes would that take off the estimate for end of the world as we know it?

How much would raising the price of gas reduce global warming?

I found especially meaningful the two points the author makes as to why many scientist likely don't speak out against the prevailing paradygm.  President Bush has been roundly criticized for having his head in the sand about the impending danger of man-induced global warming.  Yet, it seems rather more likely he's one of the few in the US government who's managed to see through the smokescreen of the global warming doomsayers.


Back in February there was a TORRENTIAL DOWNPOUR in MICHIGAN.  To say "nothing wrong" is ignorant, and ignorant at best.   If you've EVER been to Michigan in Feb., what I witnessed, SHOULDN'T BE HAPPENING, nor did it ever.

We could always nuke a volcano; it would kick up a gazillion tons of ash which would prevent all of the sun’s radiation from making it to earth and cool it back down.  I’m not worried.  If an idiot like me can come up with such a brilliant plan, I’m sure there are many alternatives.
