If the American public hadn't been scare-mongered into hating nuclear power a few decades ago, it wouldn't be an issue.

Belive it or not, America is not the only country in the world that produces CO2.

:p bunch of b.s.

US of A is not a main cause of it with our cars. Look at former Soviet states and s/e Asia. The Earth is their dumping ground and they don't give a damn - China and the former Soviet states are the WORST- all they want to do is make $Money$, dumb the stuff, and move on.

The BIGGEST joke is hybrid car owners. They "think" they are saving the planet.

True, very true, they ARE saving the planet USING the hybrid car/vehicle for FUEL - only.

Where they have their butt blinders on [the tree huggers] is HOW the car was made - which destroys MORE than the fuel they SAVE over the lifetime of owning the car.

One example. You need to use the mineral called Nickel as a component to make the rechargeable battery. Largest source of Nickel is in an open pit mine in Canada. That ONE open pit mine has a reaction with the rain. It rains in Canada - some days . When it does rain, the chemical reaction of water and Nickel DESTROYS ALL VEGETATION FOREVER for a radius of 5-10 miles beyond the open pit mine perimeter. That is just ONE mine doing their "thing" causes hell for the planet Earth supporting do gooders thinking that they are doing something right.

Then you have to ship it [the Nickel] to China to process it - use of Oil for the ship to get it there- gotta send it FROM Canada to China - more waste and wrecking the enviroment. Once their slave labor is done "processing" it, more Oil is used to power another ship to send from China and send it to Japan to convert/use it as a rechargeable battery for use in the USA or elsewhere in a hybrid car.

Hybrid car owners are a laughing stock. They wreck MORE of the planet then save it just to make the rechargeable battery, alone.



everyone likes warm fuzzies.

It's like pissing in your pants with dark pants on, No One seems to notice, but it gives you a warm feeling all over...

I'm sick of this eco-religion. Weather is dynamic and humans can adapt to change. End of subject. It is just another way to create a new tax. I'm more worried about pollution.

More worries for you:
They might tax you going wee-wee, or worse yet, going #2 and you get taxed for just taking a dump, by the pound. That could be one hell of a pile of crap.

Why do I have a Jap Avatar? Do I have to make 25 more posts just to get rid of it?

Anwer is no.

There are at present 190 countries in the world.

The US of A produces 20 % of co 2 emissions.

China is predicted to catch the US by the end of the decade.

If we dont find a way to curb ourselves, how can we expect the rest of the world to go along with it? That goes double for The Chinese government. Afterall we are not exactly best buds.

Knee jerk reaction becuase the US sits atop the numbers people get defensive thinking not what to do about the situation but rather we are being blamed for something so lets focus on that instead of the problem.

GET OFF THE BLAME GAME and BOO HOO GAME and get back to the problem.

Well, we humans are to be blamed for a lot of things about the enviroment, but it is not everything our fault the enviroment has changed many times since its existance and probably it will continue to change untill it it no longer exists.

Move here. The grass is already growing, buds have been on the trees for a couple of weeks and I'm in a T-shirt.
Our average used to be snowfall and last frost around the 18th.

I wonder if the human species is not a virus attacking an otherwise healthy galactic cell? :hmm:
