Whatever, if you want America to lead then you need to change your approach because what you are doing now isn't working.

The argument seems to be "its all a communist plot and doesn't exist, but even if it did exist its not Man Made (translated as capitalist/American made) its actually natural resulting from sun-spots/volcanoes/Justin-Bieber/ice-ages/fluffy-kittens and therefore we can ignore it.

If you said to someone "do not worry about that cancer which is killing you its not man made so ignore it" they would look at you like you are mad.

There is really nothing that we can do to change temperature. We are in our eighth year of temperature decline world wide. Just enjoy the warmth and count yourself lucky to have been born in this era. The cold will be coming along, and our descendent's will have to deal with that.

I don't want America to lead. It is too late for that - I'd like them to at least attempt to try to catch up with the rest of the world. And for the umpteenth time, this isn't about America. This is a global issue. The climate doesn't recognise borders. We all share the same atmosphere. If we could build a giant impermiable bubble around the US, and let them choke on their own fumes. It might improve the situation, but for now we'll have to learn to cooperate. (Or swim... )

All I know is if my SUV got the mileage this 'man made global warming' myth got there would be no problems in the world!

What you want doesn't matter Andy . Your opinions are irrelevant and mean very little.

What you really should be worried about AJW is the possibility of global depression. This is a risk that actually exists and can be quantified. Last week, Bill Gross made some statements. You might want to go to PIMCO website and read his latest. PIMCO going bond vigilante. it's getting serious. Nobody is worrying about false gods right now.

For the umpteenth time it doesn't matter whether it is a global issue or not, if you consider America to be the biggest problem, then she will have to be on board if you want a solution.

You aren't going to get there by repeatedly calling us stupid rednecks.

You want us to reduce the use of fossil fuels then find another way to motivate, because your approach isn't working, is it?

Its all poppycock

Leftists are of the opinion that economies don't matter in the grand scope of the average temp fluctuating up or down by half a degree .Even though the entire global economy is about to tank ,let's aggravate it further by taxing the hell out of anyone still stupid enough to work for a living .
