Kyoto Protocol Comes Into Force 1336
Cally writes "The controversial Kyoto Treaty regulating CO2 emissions finally comes into force today. The BBC has several stories and backgrounders, and notes that international pressure is now mounting on the USA to take action as well, as the scientific consensus is well established. A key question is whether the US economy will benefit relative the rest of the world, with some arguing that new technologies such as clean power generation and energy efficient appliances will provide an economic boost."

The only people saying so are scientists, and we all know that someone with an MBA would know more about this sort of thing.

Sure, but we'd all get the munchies from highway exhaust fumes on the way to work, and then there'd be 25% less food. The horror, the horror!

What debt? You are looking at the numbers? Don't worry about the numbers. Numbers are for people who don't believe in god, and europeans.
How comes the deficit is so high? The terroirists are playing with our numbers. Don't worry about our numbers, they have no meaning.
How comes Bill Gates is getting a huge paycheck based on company changes he made after we cut the tax on corporate dividends while taxes for the average person who doesn't own millions and billions worth of shares are going higher? You are looking again at the numbers. Why do I need to keep repeating myself? The numbers have no meaning.
How comes I bankrupted a few companies while giving others to eat up my costs? You are looking again at the numbers. Stop doing it.
What do you mean Saddam wanted to sell oil for Euros and not Dollars if we would have lifted an embargo because of price pressure due to oil shortages. He could have been more profitable? It's again because you are looking at the numbers. Stop fucking looking at the numbers!
Boys, go get him! He has weapons of mass destruction.
