Re: U.S. Mayors Embracing Kyoto Rules
[ QUOTE ]
Great discussion! Great answer! I'm convinced! [/ QUOTE ] i'm sorry, but did I at some point commit to starting a discussion? You gave an oversimplified question, i gave an oversimplified answer. I haven't stopped you from starting a discussion. I just find it odd how you seem to think i was responsible for initiating somehting you WANT to have discussion about.

WTF??? Are you serious??? Or are you trolling???? [/ QUOTE ] Yeah, I'm trolling for my kids [ QUOTE ] How about being ineffective in the fight against global warming? Or how about it looks to me like it's an international con to redistribute America's wealth around the world? [/ QUOTE ] You mean It's not fair! Or how about an argument not used on a million playgrounds around the world. It's not about being fair it's about doing something before it's too late. [ QUOTE ] As for these Mayors, some of them are acting out of desperation as changes in weather patterns are drying up hydroelectric power. [/ QUOTE ] I don't care what their motives are [ QUOTE ] Other majors are finally taking some much needed steps toward conservation [/ QUOTE ] Are you admitting their is a problem? I will check out the other stuff you mention (I have no time at the mo).

Glad your checking the stuff out though.

Re: U.S. Mayors Embracing Kyoto Rules
the simple but not practical answer is to only allow the amount of pollutants generated that the world can filter and leave no increase in levels. what gives anyone the right to make our rivers or air less clean so that they can make more money.

A simple perusal through all EPA rules, regulations and other minutia illustrates that. Priority is a better word to use in reference to the environment. There are more than 6 billion people on the planet and the environment is going to change in response to all the human activity required to sustain this many people. At best humans can make the effort to prioritize (is that a word?) and keep the changes in the earth's ecosystem to the minimum possible given this fact, unless you want the entire world to suddenly become Amish. And that would have its problems also aside from the cultural aspect; huge mountains of animal manure would have to be dealt with. -Zeno
