Warming up fast or a weather cycle?
The artic goes through a 50 year weather cycle that starts by pushing ice out from the center which effects cold and snow cycles around its edges. Currently the 50 year cycle is pushing all of the ice to the center which is causing the north pole ice cap to look like it's shrinking but in reality getting thicker. With the ice not being pushed out and south, land masses closest to the ice cap are not experiencing the meterlogical influences that they did 50 years ago. Or have you forgotten global cooling was the eco-bogyman in the 70's.
The planet is not warming up, thats been debunked. It's all available on the Internet.
Kyoto is about the power to levy taxes on the industrialised nations by the UN for redistribution to the poorer nations and themselves. Take wealth from those who produce it and give it to those who didn't produce the wealth in the first place. Africa, Inda, west asia and most 3rd world nations produce most of the serious air pollution on the planet because they burn wood or animal waste to heat their food and warm themselves. The perminent brown cloud seen from east africa out over Inda and beyond. The United States can bairly get into the bottom of the top 20 world polluters. The US keeps dropping off the top 20 because the US has and does clean its air quality very effectivly.
Guzzling gas is not an indicator of air pollution. US EPA requirments for SUV type vehicals keep the pollution down. There are not a significant number of non-compliant SUV or crappy 4x4's in this country to be a pollution problem. Motorcycles pollute more than cars because they aren't required to have the same anti-pollution devices on board. Gas wise they are cheeper than a car.
In the 80's and 90's the eco-bogyman of global warming led us to beleive the ice caps would melt and flood the coasts. Yes the ice caps look smaller at this moment, but water level worldwide does not reflect water levels rising in proportion to the current ice cap visual shrinkage. Where then did the ice go?
In the last 100,000 years humans have been no competition as airpolluters to volcanos. We cover the planet but with all of our cars, industry and fires, we have never in one week of operation caused a 6 year winter or killed half the worlds population due to starvation from failed crops world wide. Global warming from pollution,,,Mt. St Helen, Pinitubu and all of those volcanos in mexico last century. They shot out more air pollution than mankind in the last 5000 years.
