So there are people who actually believe the Kyoto Accords is a deliberate conspiracy against US interests, not a joint project against manmade pollution. Martyrdom, a fantastic way to lead attention away from the real problem, lol! If only the think-tanks in the US would turn their agenda into co-op mode instead of D-fens.

Wow. Without those accords, we would never have been led astray to think pollution was bad! Why, I'd bet that some harmless carbon monoxide does a body good! Just wait until Bush's republican pals get wind of this info..... They may have to wait for a clear day to read it though.
Global Warming is a myth: those glaciers falling apart were acts of terror by Al-SaddamTM. We should develop mini-nukes and just throw all of the EPA and NASA's budgets into homeland survailance while we're on a roll.

The only problem is that there have been people all along that have been stating that we are experiencing a normal cycle in earth's history..... No big deal there...
If they were using flawed data, or selectively choosing their data, then they did no better to you than those you call religious zealots. Okay for scientist, but not for religious people????
Pollution is bad, but is getting led around by the nose good? If this is acceptable then don't bitch about the Bible thumper pressing what you conceive as their crap down your throats, you are setting precedence....

It's been known for a long long time that this global-warming thing is utter crap. Political nuts latch on to it to further thier agendas every so often.
Now I'm not saying to dump VOCs, CO2, Sulpher compounds and CFCs into the air... But passing ultra-strict industry-crippling job-killing limits on such things because some special-intrest group is jumping up and down is just nuts.

Yeah, they're probably right. Global Warming's probably just some Green BS designed to take the piss out of industry and force jobs to China. And fuck with the fossil fuel industry. That's probably what it is. Just some unscruplous scientists (you know how they are) trying to fleece the pockets of the world's taxpayers (again!). Get totally fucking crazy rich riding that whole Global Warming glitter-train. You know. Meanwhile the honest hardworking executives in petrochemicals are forced to buckle down and really put their noses to the grindstone. It's not fair. I mean what more do these Green-touting money-grubbers want? Clean air? Those sick fucking bastards.

Well, the fact is, environmentalists say global warming is due to pollution, but they can't be sure we wouldn't be warming up naturally, anyway. People who like polluting say global warming is natural, but they can't be sure their pollution isn't exacerbating the situation.
But, really, when you get down to it, most of the crap they're pumping into the air is not stuff we should have in our lungs, so, regardless of global warming, they ought to cut it out.

Isn't the Calgary Herald neo-conservative? And isn't it true that Calgary is in the heart of the oil-and-gas-ultra-right-wing-alliance country?
Just curious.

Bottom line is global warming is a natural process, the accelerated greenhouse effect is not. We could very well be still warming up after the last ice age, but the rate of temperature rise is faster than any period in currently-accessible geologic history. Combine that with the rampant deforestation going on in the tropics, massive herds of flatulant cattle, tons of carbon monoxide being dumped from pointless SUVs, coal-burning power plants in China and Russia (and the US)... *sigh*

Sounds like a brainstorming session between halliburton, 3M, McDonalds and General Motors. "If only there was a way to combine all that into one super product and sell it at Wal-Mart..."
