The only thing I can tell you is reread the article and at least try to comprehend what it says. You have a bad habit of just seeing what you want to see and ignore everything else. If it's too hard for you I'll try and make it simple enough for even you to hopefully understand.

If they won't participate fully, then screw the agreements. We should go about our own business in this matter, which is what we're doing now.

Oh thats a real adult way of dealing with it.

But if they build agreements which punish us, while at the same time letting other nations with huge pollution problems and a large manufacturing capacity get away with murder, then yes, we should not enter into that harmful agreement.

We don't have to go by that agreement. Their is absoulutely nothing that stops us from using a formula that suits the U.S.. We have done zip, nothing, nada to control our own emissions in the last seven years. The worlds third highest pollutant just ignores the problem because China isn't playing until 2012. Why do I feel we are acting like seven year olds?

Seems you don't care much about the USA and it's own interests when entering into agreements.

Let me say this for what the fourth time? Nothing stops the U.S. from designing its own program and implementing it. Stupidly putting our head in the sand doesn't make the problem go away. Get over your Johnny won't play mentality and at least attempt to think like an adult. Because I'm not as ignorant as you I don't care for the U.S.? I don't think so. I believe in doing our bit.

OK. Then one must ask why all the noise by those in the man-made global warming movement? I mean, if cars are the problem, do you advocate that we stop driving? If not, why? They pollute, right? And there are millions on the road, right? So not driving so much maybe? Who would enforce that and how? What about jet aircraft? Shall we mandate that people travel less? Give everybody a Soviet style travel voucher of sorts? Should everyone be forced to dump their current automobiles and buy hybrids? What logic do you have? Other than your generic "we need to seek alternatives"? What alternatives? Nuclear plants? Geothermal? Solar cells across every major city? Who will pay for all this stuff?

When at a loss revert to stupid comments huh.
