eltower:>I sympathise with many of the concerns of the Green lobby. But they need to refocus their priorities - this whole Global Warming stunt is trying to get people feeling guilty about something which is not happening and therefore receive budget grants to investigate solutions.Huh. Yes, that's a sure way to make a million, applying for government grants. (/sarcasm)>China has no environmental laws. At all. Zilch. Why isn't that a bigger concern than baseless speculation supported by flimsy, uncircumstantial evidence?Flimsy? Nature magazine has already stated that this is not even questioned, it's accepted at this point that human caused CO2 is impacting the environment. That's Nature magazine. On the other hand, Scientific American agrees. For more in depth agreement, you could look at any climatology journal.What kind of evidence do you want exactly? Because it's 99% for and 1% oil lobby funded against. Let me repeat: NO RESPECTED CLIMATOLOGIST IS SERIOUSLY QUESTIONING THAT THIS IS OCCURING. Okay, forget the facts, you don't want them. Let me try another tact: BUSH FINALLY ADMITTED THAT THIS WAS HAPPENING.There, now I bet you believe it.
this is good, this is what we need to encourage ppl to do more to fix our problemgiven that in the last week or so, there has been overwhelming proof of global warming released, from the warming of a region in the UK that has historically never had any such radical seasonal deviations ever, to the melting in the north pole that has opened passage to sail up to the pole during summer months, to new satellite photos of carbon senstivity
Actually China has far more strict emissions standards than any US State and the "Global Warming Stunt" as you so eloquently put it is centered around the FACT that we have lost most of our glaciers and the FACT that for the first time in recorded history you can now sail a boat to the North Pole. Check your facts before you open your mouth eltower or you'll just come across like a moron.
This kind of jerk-reactions, "get rid of my planes", "get rid of my cars", solves nothing. So he sells them,someone else buys them, and what?It's much ore wise to actually have control of those planes, and then, being the Big Boss In Charge, invest in the reseach of solutions to minimize the environmental impact as much as possible.

Or I guess you could Google "global warming facts" and get the scientific evidence.

I think I'm going to legally change my name to "Global Warming". He can write the checks out directly to me.
