"Global Warming" debate shifts to WHO PAYS

And that, ladies & gentlemen, is what "global warming" is really all about. A form of global socialism to make the USA pay for its "ways", and to re-distribute wealth (a tenet of communism) to the rest of the world.

A similar story circulated in the early 1970's. So-called "social" scientists insisted the earth was experiencing "global cooling"; and of course, the U.S. was expected to pay for its "ways".

In 1996 both Clinton and Gore rejected the Kyoto signing because it singled out the USA. One of Bill's smartest moves. Also, the Senate rejected measure with not supporting votes, in 1997. They realized then as Bush does now that the impact on the economy would be devastating and the fact that China and India are exempt is a joke. Let France sign it. Thier unemployment rate is in the 12% range. Their unemployment rate amoung the people in their early 20's is 25%. When people don't work or have no future they get figity and riot. Me personally, I like working and paying lower taxes, and an unemployment rate of less than 5%.

RE: Your ignorance is as astounding as your total disregard for the environment.

I do care about the environment to an extent, however, I believe global warming is a hoax designed to unite the world under a new world order. The problem with it is: the U.S. hasn%u2019t bought into global warming so the internationalist, anti-American U.N. has to brow beat us into fear, and I believe they%u2019ll lie to accomplish this goal. My stomach hurls when I write this because I hate conspiracy theories, but I believe I%u2019m right.

RE: Bush rejected the Kyoto accords as his first act as president back in 2001, so there is no need to sign an executive order separating the U.S. from an accord it never signed.-posted by exusmcsgt.

An executive order would make an official, and, unless repealed by the next president, a permanent mark on American foreign policy. Refusal to sign an agreement is official, but can change at any time. An executive order would reiterate our stance in defiance.

RE: And Canada is not a bigger polluter than the U.S. America produces 25% of all the greenhouse gasses emitted into the atmosphere world wide. -Posted by exusmcsgt

You're right. My mistake. I just did some more research, and GHG emissions/year is just one statistic, another is pollution tonnage/year. As far as pollution tonnage goes: the U.S. is the lowest tonnage of pollution/year. Note, the demographics did not mention green house emissions. I automatically assumed United States had the lowest GHG/year because, in pollution tonnage/year: Canada, India, China, and most other countries have highest rates. It is safe to say the U.S. is the most environmentally conscious country in the world.

Now frankly, I don't believe this panel's report, and I think many Americans share my sentiments, and therefore I think the president should sign an executive order declaring the United States separate from the Kyoto accords, and denouncing the "report%u201D made by the U.N. panel.

By the way, Canada is a larger emitter of fossil fuels than the U.S. is. This is biased reporting.

The U.N. is trying to graft the U.S. into the fold. It makes me sick that people are falling for this. Whether or not the "report" made by the U.N. intergovernmental panel is true; if the U.S. signed the Kyoto accord, we would give up sovereignty. After we do that: the U.N. will never stop pushing until the United States is fully grafted into their socialist organization. The United States government has one duty: to protect and defend the people of the USA. It has one earthly authority: the U.S. constitution. That constitution says that no panel or court can ever lord over the U.S. government. George Bush is strong: he would never sign the accord, and surrender sovereignty, he would rather seek alternate energy: i.e. nuclear, fusion, or solar energy.

Now frankly, I don't believe this panel's report, and I think many Americans share my sentiments, and therefore I think the president should sign an executive order declaring the United States separate from the Kyoto accords, and denouncing the "report%u201D made by the U.N. panel.
