Earth summit

[Badgerboy 0]

I was just made aware of Bush's refusal to attend the Earth summit. Considering the US rejected the Kyoto agreements, I find it pretty strange that they don't give a rats ass about the planet. I wouldn't really mind, but the US produces a 1/4 of the Worlds pollution.

Just goes to prove that the US elections are run by big business. Sigh...

Gods... Whenever you post something I feel the need to add the following.

"The views expressed in the above post are the author’s, not those of the United States nor are they representative of the opinion of its citizens."

Sorry I couldn't resist.

I don't see why the world has to agree on such things, each country should introduce environment thingy's of its own and not what other people tell them too. USA as one of the big polluters of the world have to start cancelling all this ''we don't care'' stuff otherwise enjvironmentalists won't stop whinging at them and no dou8bt there are environmentalists whose whinging could actually do something productive

The US is one of the worst polluters in the first world. Period.

And that IS a world problem, because there isnt some magical barrier that encircles the US and keeps its pollution trapped in it's airspace and lands. And so long as Shrub buries his head in the sand and tries to pretend that pollution is just going to go away, then its the worlds responsibility to cry 'foul'

What is the objectove for earth summit? A round of coffees between world leaders discussing how nice it would be if we could get rid of pollution or a threatening to reduce popultion or we declare war? As you can see there is a big difference between the two ( ). So which one is bush hiding from?

[Gadzoo 0]

Don't worry Duke, your not alone out there. God I love listening to mind numbed liberal crap.

They know not what they speak. All they know if what their tree hugging 4th grade teacher and Dan Rather have told them about the "environment."

I for one enjoy my 4 wheel drive SUV towering over all the little people.

At least the US has controls over pollution.....ever been to Mexico? Where the used tire makes a great Yule log.

Come on people, use your own mind, look at the real facts and quit sounding like you just left the Rosie O'Donnel show.

Praise "W" for his superior intelligence and the balls to not sign that riduculous Kyoto treaty.

Gadzoo, I would like to ask you to stop being so offensive and polemic towards other forum members. Everyone is entitled to his views and to airing them, but if you start being so condescending that it could be mistaken for insulting, then I must ask you to stop.

On a different note, if you wish to debate I suggest you cut the rhetoric and provide some facts for the basis of your discussion.

[Tex -USMC- 0]

Stop trying to insult us with your idiotic cliches, and offer a substantive argument. Please.

LOL.

Superior intelligence.

ROTFL

A man who thought the leader of his nations largest trading partner was 'Poutine'

I have to say that using Superior Intelligence and G W Bush in the same sentence shows that you are as deeply brainwashed by the far right agenda as anyone else is by the left.

Thanks.

The U.S. can do its own enviromental regulations, we do not need anybody else to do it!

Well, that would be ok if the effects of the US pollution would be in the US only. That is not the way it is the environment works. The pollution that you create, we get. The pollution we create, you get too. The environment is therefor a global issue.

it seems like your world is composed of Dan Rather and Rush Limbaugh

yeah drive over little ppl....how about your kids? they are little

US controls polution..right..compared to recycling system in East Asia and Europe, we are having too much freedom. we only need to have 3 categories..they have to have more than that...i heard that in JPN, they have to distinguish garbages in these manner.

bottles, plastic

bottles, glass

papers, wet

papers, dry

kitchen disposals(foods and etc)

and rest(like shrubs)

compared to that we are way easy.

Bush? intelligence? here's a joke from Letterman. "Now that he is president of the country White house is giving him intelligence briefing......(audience laughs).....some jokes just right themselves."

yeah...and as soon as other countries lax their environmental laws, US criticizes them as polluters....very nice ....

Evere hear of a country called Germany? I do believe they pollute. Most countries pollute, but there is nothing to worry about, not like it will destroy the world.

sure they pollute...about half or less of US...in terms of Ozone layer problem, US contributes about 80% of pollutants.

yes..acid rains will not destroy the world...then why the fuck is scientists in US worried about dust clouds carrying pollutants from mainland China?

This is unacceptable, I am writing a letter to Bush to tell him he has to start taking over the world ASAP.

Actually, better just discuss it with my cat, he seems smarter.

Youre right, it wont destroy the world. Now. But if it keeps up for another few hundred years, we could be looking at the risk of creating conditions here on earth under which life would get considerably harder until it was impossible.

[bn880 5]

No actually thousands of people already die from pollution. It shortens everyones lifespan.

You have a point there, sadly. Perhaps he would do more damage involved in the environmental issues then when he stays out of them...
