Now Im watching the TV and have it on one of the big news channels(Ill just say it wasnt the Communist News Network.) They come up with a wild story from Eastern Europe, Chzech Republic, Germany, Slovakia, where the massive floods have been occuring.. Some of the politicians have decided that there must be a reason for these floods. Now after reading into it i see that these are massive floods. A 100 year high mark, but its been higher before. It what they call a hundred year flood it happens every now and then.
However these politicians have decided that America is too blame. We didnt sign the Kyoto Treaty we must be to blame. We are the cause of global warming(as if it wasnt a natural thing.) The Americans caused these floods they are evil(yes we must be we have guns and freedom and other great things.)
Now first off supposing there was a such a thing as artificial global warming. We didnt sign this treaty when a year ago. So now tell me that in this year that we have been enough to cause these floods. The other countries probably havent even started reductions yet. Now by their standards should the world not be a living and working hell. Or is that just how they want it.

1. Buy a clue Hortland.
2. Use of your new-found clue will hopefully inhibit you from responding like a freakin' retard.
Not the other way around.

the last great floods in europe were 125 yrs ago , they were set off by the americans killing off all the buffalo and building railroads across north america, i have proof

In Moscow we have the hottest summer since 1972. The city is covered by smoke from burning peal (sp?) swamps East from Moscow. Firemen and forrest rangers said yesterday that they run out of water in ponds and rivers to fight that fires.
Moscow Stalin's skyscrapers like Univercity and Foreign Ministry can't be seen from more then 5km away. From the "Universitet" underground station the Univercity building looks like a thin pastele picture, and from Kosygin street where I work it can be seen only as a shadow against the sunset.
When you go outdoors you can literally smell the smoke.
We had it for 3 weeks in July, and now it's back after only one week of bearable weather with short rains.
It's amazing when you can't see Kremlin or even Christ the Saviour Cathederal from Vorobyovy Mountains on a sunny day.
Definetly, that bloody yankees are to blame. They have a secret technology to transfer atmospheric water from Central-European Russia to Czech Republic and Germany.
Another proof of their deadly experiments is the fact that this year we had the warmest February in the last 300 years (!!!), over freezing every day, while Western Europe suffered from coldth and snow.
Yankees will blame Iraq for burning their oil wells to increase global warming, but Russian government can prove that oil fires in Chechnya in 1995 didn't have such consequences. The most probable reason is not only the violation of Kyoto treaty but the excessive use of fuel-air explosive bombs against mountains in Afghanistan.
Important: if you'll protest by throwing bottles with Molotov cocktail at American embassies, you'll only help their plan to change global climate!
I hope you'll understand that it's a joke :) Except for the weather siuation in Moscow. I wish we could borrow some rain-clouds from Western Europe :(

As he says.
Hobo, you aren't posting anywhere near an accurate representaion of what's happening in that region, nor their governments responses.

Actually Im not sure how I'd be able to do it the other way around. I mean where would I get the "new-found clue" to use in step 2 if I didnt buy it in step 1?

Hobodog ur post is so unbelievible dumb like the european guys saying that the USA caused the floods.
-
Oh yeah, Global warming a natural cause heh.... I'm sure he's going to say next that Nazi camps never existed too :rolleyes:
I'm pretty sure we'll have some more of this in 12 days, after the upcomming South Africa meeting... stand by

Good to see the american military get a good education in spelling :rolleyes: you think they'd know how to spell Hijack by now?

Gawd I didnt see that.

I won't accuse directly anyone, but it is a fact that the western countries (USA AND Europe) are the biggest consumers of fossil fuel, so we can't honestly say that we aren't even partially responsible for what is going on.
Sure enough, the water levels have been as high decades or centuries ago. What is disturbing is:
- It is happening over a wide area.
- There wasn't any climatic (big hurricane like El Nino in 97-98) or geologic (earthquake, awakening of a volcano) event previously this year to explain those disturbances in world's climate.
Global warming is a fact. Ozone layer destruction is a fact. All countries will have to fight it, and the more we wait before we act, the worse it will be.

Sources, hobodog, sources.
Don't have any? You do surprise me.
What's with these "The whole world's against us poor ol' Americans!" posts? Not a thread goes by without some tard airing his insecurities in public.

Or another tard to point it out :D

deSelys: - There wasn't any climatic (big hurricane like El Nino in 97-98) or geologic (earthquake, awakening of a volcano) event previously this year to explain those disturbances in world's climate.
First, the effects of the abovementioned disturbances may be felt for years - due to ocean and athmosphere buffering effects.
Second, haven't you heards of a enormous three-miles high cloud of locally-produces soot hanging over the large portion of East Asia and cutting their sunlight by 15%? Not a large event for you?
Global warming is a fact.
Even the most radical scientists predict that global warming ill occur if we continue pollution - not that it should be noticeable now except by most precise scientific methods.
Ozone layer destruction is a fact.
There is a lot of disagreement about that. The less ozone in the athmosphere, the more UV rays get in, the more UV-rays get in, the more ozone is created - it's self-balancing.
There has been detected about 10% variations in the ozone level in Antarctica - but you get 10% ozone level drop if you move 6 miles further from the equator from the point you are in.
BTW - I am a proponent of conservation.
Note - US steel industry has been suffering in competition with heavily subcidised steel industries of other countries - partly because of too strong dollar due to all that money being invested into US stock market by foreigners and partly due to lower expences of those manufacturers on the environment protection.
I am pretty sure that the emission standards of our steel industry are at least as much better than european ones as our car emission standards better than those of european cars. They are much better than those of less-developed countries (and into which Kyoto agreement would push more production from developed countries).
So while the tariffs imposed by Bush on steel imported into US were protective and contrary to free trade, should not have environmentalists praised them for being good for environment? Or did I miss that?

Mmmmokay the effects can be felt over years....but logically they shoud have a lower intensity each year, no?
About the 'brown cloud'....this isn't a 'natural event' as it is the result of human pollution.
Global warming is a fact.
Even the most radical scientists predict that global warming will occur if we continue pollution - not that it should be noticeable now except by most precise scientific methods.
Come on...you agree that a local hurricane can have global effects on climate over years...How wouldn't have any effect even a 0.1°C increase of average atmosphere temperature?
Ozone layer destruction is a fact.
There is a lot of disagreement about that. The less ozone in the athmosphere, the more UV rays get in, the more UV-rays get in, the more ozone is created - it's self-balancing.
There has been detected about 10% variations in the ozone level in Antarctica - but you get 10% ozone level drop if you move 6 miles further from the equator from the point you are in.
If I recall correctly, high alt ozone is much more stable than at low alts because of the conditions up there. Sun and pollution create ozone at ground level (which can be troublesome for persons with a diminished breathing capacity) BUT...this ozone is very rapidly decayed and almost never reaches the stratosphere. However, I agree that we don't have much data history (a couple of decades at most)...
BTW - I am a proponent of conservation.
Note - US steel industry has been suffering in competition with heavily subcidised steel industries of other countries - partly because of too strong dollar due to all that money being invested into US stock market by foreigners and partly due to lower expences of those manufacturers on the environment protection.

So while the tariffs imposed by Bush on steel imported into US were protective and contrary to free trade, should not have environmentalists praised them for being good for environment? Or did I miss that?
I want to discuss this: indeed the emissions of your cars are better...but it depends on which emissions you're talking about. A lot of american cars have a much bigger engine than affordable here in Belgium because
1 Fuel is cheaper, and bigger engines generally consume more fuel
2 Our taxes system penalizes big engines
For instance, I own a Mitsubishi Carima Turbo-Diesel (diesel is cheaper than gasoline here):
Engine: 1900 cubic centimeters
power: 102 HP
consumption: 6 Liters /100 Kilometers
Exhaust Catalysor installed.
(I let you do the math to convert it because it is already late here ;) )
I agree that diesel produces more microscopic ashes than gasoline, but less other toxic emissions (sulphur if I recall correctly). However, I'm sure you'll agree than using 6 L /100 Km is better for the environment than a big GMC truck which will happily gobble 20 L of gasoline to cover the same distance.
Finally, but I can't honestly be certain about it, I've read that your steel industry in general was less competitive than our (read european, not belgian that's a fact ;) ) because we faced the same crisis 10 years ago. I don't know if it means that our factories have better or worse emissions tho. What is certain is that Bush's move about the steel taxes was a wrong one...look at the ratio Euro - Dollar...we're almost on par again now...

its all in balance while europe floods we canadians are having the dyest summer on record.
all this extra water is probably coming from melting polar ice caps.

You'd have to find it before you could buy it. I omitted that step because I thought it was obvious. I guess not.
Blaming the US for Europe's floods is a joke. It's at the same level of blaming McDonald's for being a fat ass.

The only thing obvious in your post is your lack of intelligence and wit.

I tried to stop blaming the USA ....
I blamed the Danes ...
I blamed the Brits ...
I blamed the German ...
I blamed the Belgian ...
It never looked right .... so I continued to blame the US of A :p

That's why we have you to set us straight Hortlund, with your enlightening yet humorous responses. Thanks for sharing.
