China now exceeds the US in carbon emissions & India is not far behind. Projections indicate that China''s & India''s emissions will increase 30% greater than today''s level by 2020 and they have given no assurances that they have any plans to curb it. Many more emerging countries will be adding to that.
So, I guess the big question is if the US takes every measure to minimize carbon emissions, are we hosed anyway. What could the world do, try and impose a carbon tax upon them? Not likely!- Reply to this comment
The National Academy of Sciences surveyed EVERY climate change study done in the last 10 years. Without exception they ALL agreed on three fundamental facts:
1. Global warming is real and happening now.
2. Global warming is caused by man.
3. The consequences of global warming will be catastrophic to all life on the planet. (this means you)
The SCIENTIFIC debate ended long ago. The POLITICAL debate rages on fueled by a multi-million dollar disinformation campaign which is funded by fossil fuels companies.
The time for DENIAL is over. The time for ACTION is now.- Reply to this comment
- How about more quotes:
John Coleman, Weather Channel Founder: Global Warming %u2018Greatest Scam in History.''
Choose whatever prophet you want, it''s all about which ploy gains the most amount of media attention. - Reply to this comment

- ** Harvard Biologist George Wald, 1970 "...Civilization will end within 15 or 30 years unless immediate action is taken against problems facing mankind." **
Well, as I look around the world today, I think Wald was correct. Civilazation, as we define "civilized man" does indeed appear to be ending. - Reply to this comment

Morons:
The SCIENTIFIC debate on global warming and it''s cause is over.
The world is moving forward now. Either help out or get out of the way.- Reply to this comment
- oh yeah, I forogt..Clinton and AlGore had two terms to get something done, and they diddled around (figurately and literally!)..and lo and behold, it was the evil Richard Nixon who signed into law the creation of that beheamoth EPA and recognized "Earth (control of freedom by Big Government) Day".

- Every time one of these guys come out with another "we''re doomed" statement, Al Gore is in his house (which consumes 20 times the energy of the average home in Tenn.) doing his best Kurt Gibson imitation & yelling Cha-Ching!!

- Hansen''s comments display man''s arrogance at his belief that he controls the future of a planet that predates his appearance by millions of years. Maybe Hasen can get Congress to outlaw volcanoes. Volcanic ash has been much more destructive over the centuries than any man made pollution.

- Can I also handpick which climate prophet quote to repeat:
Harvard Biologist George Wald, 1970 "...Civilization will end within 15 or 30 years unless immediate action is taken against problems facing mankind."
Kenneth Wat, Swarthmore College, April 19, 1970 "The world will be... eleven degrees colder in the year 2000. This is about twice what it would take to put us into an ice age."
You have to love climate prophet predictions, they do entertain us so! - Reply to this comment
- 100''s of "scientists" say the earth is only 6000 years old. Do you believe them too?

- We can start by voting Senator Inhofe out of office. He is a big roadblock to solving this urgent problem.

- Let see; 800 scientists that say no global warming and one that says there is global warming, and we listen to who? Is this science or politics?

If only we had spent the 3 trillion dollars that we''re spending in Iraq on developing sustainable energy technologies that already exist, we''d be well on our way to energy independence right now and the world would be better for it.
Unfortunately, conservatives are in bed with big oil and are completely incapable of forward thinking policy.- Reply to this comment
