That is the sad part. US want to pollute as much as it wants. Anyway, when there is no air left suitable for life, this will not have any sense anyway. -------- "I say no to drugs, but they don't listen." - Marilyn Manson

Lawsuits against the US over Global Warming[^] which isn't jiving with the possibility of a mini ice age.[^] Note that the article blames it on Global Warming however it also notes that temps worldwide haven't been this warm for 12,000 years. Go ahead and raise your hands if you were driving back then...or if any of your ancestors were causing it. ;P ed ~"Watch your thoughts; they become your words.

It's all those SUVs polluting the world.

No, it's because other countries like China and India are exempt from the rules, and this would give them an unfair advantage.
Partly agree. It may be that the US used that excuse only to appear to have a good reason not to sign the agreement. -------- "I say no to drugs, but they don't listen." - Marilyn Manson

Or maybe you will find a way to bash the US no matter what the facts are?

Statistically speaking, US is the most polluting country in the world, producing 25% of the pollution alone, and it is not even the most populated. http://www.guardian.co.uk/climatechange/story/0,12374,1644199,00.html[^] http://www.hindu.com/2005/11/18/stories/2005111803861100.htm[^] Just 2 links. Big cities in Asia are among the most polluted in the world, but they don't contribute to global warming as much as the USA. Think about it: 5% of the population producing 25% of the greenhouse effect gas in the world. That is a lot. -------- "I say no to drugs, but they don't listen." - Marilyn Manson
Interesting that those are opinions. I've yet to see anyone running around measuring! Seems it's not always the facts that get in the way![^] ed ~"Watch your thoughts; they become your words.

No, I was pointing out how your statement do not hold much weight because of your bias. You give yourself too much credit. I'm in the very rich country of the US making a lot of money, you have to do a lot more than that to get me upset.

Good, now, when you have an open mind, and can get a grip on your own green bias against the US, maybe a open debate will be enjoyable between both parties.

Wasn't the Kyoto Treaty giving the Asian countries a pass though due to being "developing nations"? BW

-- Steven WrightI think so. It seems to be why the US bailed out. But, frankly, I doubt it. This is just my opinion. You can flame me. Everybody has a right to his opinion. -------- "I say no to drugs, but they don't listen." - Marilyn Manson

:wtf::wtf: um..where did I say a bias statement? You were better off speachless.
You told me that I was not open minded, and you replied by saying I was biased. Could you explain? If not, stop replying and go away. -------- "I say no to drugs, but they don't listen." - Marilyn Manson

Exactly why everyone wants to move over there :-) Right now, most Indian teenagers studying Computer Science want to move to the US. Cause of all the wealth out there :-)
