President's Goal Of Stopping Growth In Greenhouse Gas Emissions By 2025 Too Late, Some Say

- It''s good to see Bush acknowledge there is a greenhouse problem, since the evidence suggests it does exist. We also have to consider not gutting the economy any more than it already has been with the war, off-shoring jobs, etc.
Calling for rigid deadlines that it''s not clear we can reasonably meet isn''t that helpful, so it''s good to set what appear to be realistic goals and not depend on some amazing technological discovery that may not appear.
However, giving the U.N. any power over the U.S. would be a mistake. We have a country with a constitution, and letting foreign dictators and monarchs dictate our behavior is not a good idea. - Reply to this comment
- The present rising CO2 has nothing to do with SUVs. Try the mediaeval warm period 800 years ago, which is how long the delay is between global warming and the ocean outgassing CO2. And you can check Al Gore''''s book to get proof of that statement.
Besides, it is known (actual measured data, that a one degree C rise in surface temperature gives a 7% increase in precipitation. So don''''t try blaming global warming for water shortages; there''''s more than enough water.

LOL. Your water comments show a profound ignorance.
Example 1: Many populations rely on glacial meltwater for their water supply. Example 2: Overall precipitation may increase, but distribution is not even. ie, the historic drought in the southwest U.S. and Australia. - Reply to this comment
- "Guess who knows next to nothing about global warming?"
This is a comment from someone whose entire global warming knowledge base come from a movie????? - Reply to this comment
- Sitting here using electricity to read and post stupid non-productive comments its just contributing to the problems. Yes, obviously George Bush is causing global warming and no one else is responsible. Take you own initiative and stop waiting for some "leader" to make you do it. If you say we MUST do something, then start by doing it. Stop using your computer, stop working for companies that use electricity, stop using electricity, don''t drive and motorized vehicle, do not buy anything that was transported using a motorized vehicle or anything that was manufactured using electricity.
But why should on person take action when we can allow all the wonderful governments from around the world take responsibility, its much easier then blaming ourselves. - Reply to this comment
- " 2025, to take action in 25 years is ridiculous and irreversable damage. Drought in Africa and Australia is causing food famine. People are starving to death, because of lack of rain. Those who don''''t believe are just idiots with their brains up their butts! The higher prices at the food markets is a good indicator!"
Why do you attack people who simply disagree with you; instead of trying to debate their science ? there''s not a shred of evidence that food shortages are due to a lack of rain anywhere. Try the insane ethanol scam as a reason why people are starving for food. Any species that consumes its food production resources to try and make energy when plenty of that is already available, simply doesn''t deserve to survive.

- If the US moves aggressively it will be very bad for France. The last time we sent the world into a depression, which Global Warming moves surely would do, Germany went insane and took over France.
Of course, man has no effect on the temperature in the world, since the Sun is getting hotter. - Reply to this comment
- It''''''''s freezing in Florida in April. Take your Global warming and wipe your arse with it. I''''''''m cold.
