Another reason to get out of the UN!

[Seadog]

Article in the news said that the UN council on Natural Disasters has decided that they are not natural and are caused by people. In particular, they cited the industrial nations, particulary the US for causing them. They feel that people living in cities with roads and parking lots create heat pockets that destroy the natural balance.
In other news, the Asian conference on the recent tsunami and how to detect them in the future got sticky when the US, Australia and Canada refused to sign off on a provision that blames earthquakes and other acts on greenhouse gases.
Don't these people have the smallest clue of geology and science. What is next? Blaming the Bush administration for the destruction of Pangaea?

There is little to no scientific support of green house gases produced by humans as being significant to measure on a global basis, let alone causing global warming. Mt St. Helens spewed so much CO2 that was detected all over the world. For humans to match, our CO2 production would be have to increase at unrealistic exponential amounts.
There have been many ice ages, most of which existed before humans arrived - and these same people just ingore the little fact of Global Warming (even though there is no proof of current Global Warming) is a natural and repeating phenomenom that we can't do sheet about.
The whole environmentalist issue is just a facade to destroy our way of life. They can't get their way taking us head on, so they create fake issues and act like they are trying to make the world a better place, when in reality, they are just pissed off and bitter that we are the most successful country in the world in history. The more we prove them wrong, the more pissed off and angry they get....kind of like my ex-wife! LOL!! These socialists are angry that their ideas of society will never work and hate us slapping them in the face with success.
God bless America!

And so it will continue that the US is the cause of all wrongs. I love being a native citizen of the richest and most powerful country in the world.
I always love hearing all the theories about global warming. I believe that we can always do better about the way we use and function on our planet but I don't believe that we are doing anything too adverse to damage our environment, especially when compared to some of the other countries. Lets just throw China out there as an example. :wink:

I thought carbon dioxide was essential for all plant life?

Hey now, don't bring in scientific facts into this....that just makes you an asshole.

I have submitted that in an arguement with an Evironazi, that the plants would compensate to an extent. They start talking about deforestation in S.America...... and they are planting plants where they cut the trees down so????

Just finished Michael Crichton's new book, "State of Fear", you all should pick it up. Very interesting........... Pretty much blows global warming out of the water :D

Anyone that thinks that global warming is our most immediate danger is delusional. A major interuption of oil supplies can cause a major economic crises. There is a good chance that a major war could arise on the african continent/middle east over water shortages. SE asia and the south pacific is a tinderbox that could erupt at any time. Even if we stayed out of it, it could create an economical crises and a major loss of electronics.

You mean we would have to start making our own stuff again? ;)
