Do Warming Advocates Care About Results?

By Debra Saunders (http://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/author/debra_saunders/)

If you really believe that the planet is at the tipping point on global warming and the consequences will be fatal for people around the world, especially the poor, then all industrialized nations need to curb their greenhouse gas emissions. If the United States must sacrifice, so must China, which is fast emerging as the largest producer of industrial greenhouse gases on Earth.

Yet U.N. Secretary Ban ki-Moon, in a breakfast meeting with the San Francisco Chronicle editorial board Friday, suggested that industrialized nations -- read the United States -- have a "historical responsibility" to cut emissions, which are "almost to the saturation point," while China and India, two superpowers that were not bound to reduce emissions as part of the 1997 Kyoto global warming pact, "have their own positions."

-- snip --


And if results really were paramount, why aren't global warming advocates talking about the sacrifices necessary to meet their goal of 50 percent to 90 percent fewer emissions? Instead, they talk as if Americans can change their light bulbs, or drive a hybrid, not an SUV -- and that will do the trick.
It's as if they don't care about results, they only care if you believe.

She hits it out of the ballpark on this article. Who cares what China and the other nations do...The US has a "responsibility" to do all the work and pay out the ass.

Sounds as if old Ban ki Moon is a Kofi clone... Hate America, hate Bush, blah, blah, blah...

Gorebull Warming is 100% leftist politics. And the UN is 100% leftist politics. They're a perfect match.

The only result they want is the reduction of America to a pathetic third-world sewer. And still the US sends them billions of dollars of taxpayers' confiscated money. Throw the bastards out.

I attended a public "vaudeville" performance last evening which was put on by a traveling troupe of entertainers. Without advance warning, a seven minute slide presentation was made about the Climate Change. The presenter claims to have been trained by <drum role> Al Gore...

The talk and slides included such rhetoric as, "no scientists on the planet disagree with these findings", (at least three times) , and "this is NOT a political issue, but a matter of life or death" (at least twice). As if that were not appalling enough, the information on the slides was badly adjusted for the forgone conclusion. About 80% of audience applauded, whistled and shouted their approval...

That crap belongs in vaudeville shows, not in classrooms.

How bout the SciFi channel between 2 - 4 AM... Sandwiched between the movies When Worlds Collide and The Day After Tomorrow... :rolleyes:

That would be an excellent time slot. Make it so, SFC.

Not at all. The world could suddenly plunge into a deep freeze, and those stupid jerks would still be proclaiming global warming at the top of their lungs. Facts, proof, the simple truth -- none of that means beans to global warmers. They got their story and they're stickin' to it.

It's all politics. Lefties don't care a whit about global warming. It's just an excuse to obtain more power to control our lives.

Well they must know they lied and lied because they were "trained" by the master flim flam man.

There are many many scientists who does not agree with Albert "gia" Gore.From 1998 to now THOUSANDS of Scientists are not convinced that we are at the brink of a "tipping point" in the near future.From Kyoto to Tipping point.They have been based on environmental "oh my we are DOOMED!" outlook.

It is political since the baloney they spew out is political in nature with all the governmental solutions being proposed to combat the menace of a slow small warming trend.

I will start a new thread with an amusing commentary about such people who worry so easily and so much over so little.
