US Opposes G8 Climate Proposals 845
elrond writes "The US appears to have summarily rejected draft proposals for G8 members that would have agreed to tougher measures for controlling greenhouse gas emissions. The BBC reports that leaked documents have indicated the positions of the various world powers, from the timetable-setting of Germany to the US's intractable stance. Red ink comments on the documents hint at the US's irritation: 'The US still has serious, fundamental concerns about this draft statement. The treatment of climate change runs counter to our overall position and crosses 'multiple red lines' in terms of what we simply cannot agree to ... We have tried to tread lightly but there is only so far we can go given our fundamental opposition to the German position.'"

In a few years, we'll be saying "In Soviet Terra, Climate Opposes US".
Look on the bright side - there'll be even more swamp land in Florida for hucksters to "timeshare" as "great view of the ocean".

But the only possible foreign invaders now are aliens, and if there's one thing I learned from science fiction it is that alien invaders come from dying worlds. They don't invade them. Obviously to offset the vast cost of interstellar travel the world you invade has to be pretty damn healthy environmentally. So by destroying the environment we are actually making ourselves safe from the aliens.

You Think I am trolling? Lol.. If i was I would be doing more then this. Of course you stating it doesn't matter, My posts in this thread have already been downmoded while obvious flames have been tagged insightful. This is a reoccurring theme in this global warming debate. Anything that doesn't toe the line gets attacked, the messenger gets attacked, The entire proxy data and GHG theory has been questioned before, It is quite simple to find an over abundance of papers blogs and all explaining it away. There are even studies released "gasp" in nature and scientific journals set out for peer review and all seems to be fine with them that say this. There are some sites that explain this away by stating other independent studies back the original data up, and yet there are counters to the counter that says Duh, when both studies use the wrong data, you will have two wrongly concluded studies.
What makes you, (the umteenth person to say "..were's the link?") think that I was really caring to go into this part of the topic. My posts didn't make any claims to support it. It just said it was there to lead into why I think we can't do anything about it. I didn't provide a link because I heard about it on the radio where links don't exactly post very well. I'm pretty sure I specifically said that didn't I? If you really had something constructive to say other then "lets mark him a troll because I can't find anything in a search", you would have said it by now. Instead there is this campaign to attack them messenger. I do realize this is the strong suit in the arguments, Don't counter the message, attack the messenger, "He is an evil troll". And "oh no, he didn't provide a link, I'm smart but not smart enough to do a google search and find a link on my own"
I suspect that you even know about these studies and claims of the wrong data being used and the data being manipulated. I suspect this because of the efforts to claim anything other then those aspects of my post were wrong. Thats OK though, I don't hold it against you or the masses of other trying to be the good soldier of the cause. I don't hold things again fools and idiots, Brain washed people fall in there somewhere too. Now just forget I said anything and go practice you little religion in peace. I will never again say your god is phony...
Ps, I bet I got more wise ass comments that most followers of the faith have mod points. The question is, if you waist them all on me, ho0w will you be able to quiet the others? And yes, There are others, I just got done posting over there too.
