Who... Us?

China has responded to the UN global warming report by downplaying the whole thing. They point out that some reports show the United States as the number one greenhouse gas-creating country in the world(more on this later), while they are way back in second place.

How about this:

China's per-capita emissions remain only a fraction of those in developed countries. the Chinese government has said.

Holy truth there , Batman, that settles it!

Per-capita emissions. What a dodge. With a half-billion chinese still plodding around in rice paddies and living in hovels with no electricity, no TV, no telephone, and using ox carts for transportation, it makes sense--but in a very deceptive way--and provices great fodder for the tree-huggers of the world to babble on about.

China, a signatory to the Kyoto Protocol, is not committed--0r required--to cut greenhouse gases due to its status as a "developing" country. (Remember those half-billion rice paddy farmers? They're busy "developing")

But... jackasses like France's version of Bush wants the United States to join up with the Kyoto gang of miscreants, demanding that we overfed and lazy Americans reduce our greenhouse gas emissions by at least twenty percent.

Beyond a shadow of a doubt, that would destroy our economy and bring our nation to it's knees.

Anyone with sufficent curiosity can easily research the net for factual data on global warming with the end result of not worrying so much about it. It seems that the Earth itself has built-in safetys that prevent a global warming "runaway". A degree or two of true global warming triggers these safety mechanisms and reverses the cycle.

According to the geological records, it has happened countless times in Earth's (not man's) history.

S0... if we allow the "sky is falling" panic-stricken alarmists to control our economy and our nation, America will be the ultimate loser, with China (the not required to control greenhouse gasses nation) as the winner.

What a deal. Like I said before, we really need to tell the United Nations to take their global warming report and stuff it where the sun never shines.
