Comments on: U.S. Rejects Mandatory Greenhouse Gas Cuts

Despite Scientists' Declaration And Senate Action, U.S. Official Wants No Mandatory Reductions

[MacTrek777]

I wonder how well all those countries are doing cutting emissions that signed the treaty? From what I understand current compliance is spotty at best especially in China and Russia. What good is a treaty if you don''t follow it? It''s just another piece of paper much like all those treaties we signed with the indians. Think about it!

As I went out to start the car this morning I noted it was 17 degrees. As I tried to pry my car door open from inside a block of ice I wondered; where the heck is global warming! I need it now! I have lived here in the northeast for 57 years and you know something? Its usually like that up here at this time of year. Hot in the summer and cold in the winter. Some summers are hotter than others and some winters are colder than others. Maybe we could fix this by spreading the heat more uniformly? All we would have to do is tilt the earths axis a little bit or better yet; move the earth a bit farther away from the sun. You may laugh but I tell you the cure needs to be as exagerated as the danger.

"The current pact requires 36 industrial nations to reduce the gases by a modest 5 percent below 1990 levels. The United States is the only industrial nation to reject it."

We need new leadership!

Hawksprings has put his tail between his legs, and has run for cover.

[jcr103]

I agree. Who needs science and rational thought anyway? It just gets in the way in the most inconvenient ways. Besides, denial is so much easier as you don''t have to grapple with the hard issues affecting society if you go this route.

You listening hawksprings? Pull, pull, pull, pull, you can do it!

Who needs science and understanding?
All the Bush administration has to do is have Bush look outside and when he says "It doesn''t look like there''s too much CO2 in the air to me.", that''s good enough for them.

Wow, I didn''''t realize it was so unusual for the North to get snow in December. And DC got 2 inches? Forget global warming, we''''re in another ice age!

It is only unusual, because it suits the well informed to make it appear so.

A friend of mine signed that statement. I would no more ask him about Global Warming than I would ask a climatologist about plant pathology (his specialty). Some people would, of course, namely people like yourself who are too lame to appreciate the difference between the two scientific disciplines. It''s all greek to you... eh??

[rheola-2009]

apparently well informed Patrick wishes to be noticed.

[displeased]

Tell that to the people in Maine, North Dakota, Minnesota, etc. where snowfall records were broken earlier this week.

Also, it snowed 2 inches in DC whilst the Congress signed Global Warming legislation.

Global warming alarmists never mention that more than 16,000 American scientists, two-thirds of whom have an advanced degree in science,signed the following statement:
"We urge the United States government to reject the global warming agreement that was written in Kyoto, Japan, in December, 1997, and any other similar proposals. The proposed limits on greenhouse gases would harm the environment, hinder the advance of science and technology, and damage the health and welfare of mankind.
There is no convincing scientific evidence that human release of carbon dioxide, methane, or other greenhouse gases is causing, or will, in the foreseeable future, cause catastrophic heating of the Earth''s atmosphere and disruption of the Earth''s climate. Moreover, there is substantial scientific evidence that increases in atmospheric carbon dioxide produce many beneficial effects upon the natural plant and animal environments of the Earth."

Skeptics are invited to read for themselves (http://www.oism.org/pproject or at http://www.sitewave.net /pproject). To date, no valid technical objections have been raised by alarmist scientists to these "deniers".

[rheola-2009]

The "climate scientists" haven''''t PROVEN anything.
All they''''re doing is making PREDICTIONS, and most of them haven''''t, and won''''t, come anywhere near true.

I am overwhelmed by the depth of knowledge shown on these boards by so many well informed persons.

Global Warming has melted all the snow?
Tell that to the people in Maine, North Dakota, Minnesota, etc. where snowfall records were broken earlier this week.

The "climate scientists" haven''t PROVEN anything.
All they''re doing is making PREDICTIONS, and most of them haven''t, and won''t, come anywhere near true.

But go ahead, all you Global Warming Sheep, keep handing over your money, rights, and everything else that the Government keeps asking from you in the name of the Church of Global Warming.

Then when the climate cools off again on it''s own like it has done many times in the past, and will do again, you can all congratulate yourselves for saving the planet.

We can''t. Global warming has melted all the snow.
