Kyoto!!
Why do American's keep making these type of movies yet keep voting in a President who refuses to sign the Kyoto agreement!?
sharehehehehe, havent you answered your own question? :p

Because the people who make these message movies are whiners who believe that the sky is falling! They believe in bad science, brainless economic theory, and worse governmental theory.
The people who voted in the Presidential election have better sense than to elect someone who gets his political philosphy from overpaid Hollywood twits.
Does that answer your question???

~Insanity is continuing to do the same thing while expecting different results.
Hey, I didn't vote for that guy. You can only blame about 51% of Americans. The other 49% of us wanted peace in the world and a good environment.
shareActually read the Kyoto accords. They're based on benchmarks made in the 1990s by industrial countries and do nothing to limit the pollution of the Third World, i.e. the greatest polluters in the next decade. Keep in mind also that those same Third World countries comprise the United States's greatest threat risks (China, India) and you get an idea of why the Kyoto accords were a bad idea for the United States.
Oh, and while we're at it, I might throw in that most of the European signees have released preliminary reports indicating that they will not meet the treaty requirements either.
The Kyoto accords were a flawed effort towards a good goal. While good symbolically, they were pointless from a results-oriented viewpoint.
people like you always blame the others for it.
China, India, and other African nations.
What should we expect on a president who cares more about the economy than the lives of our future generations.
People like me? People who blame China, India, and other African nations, I assume? Or did you have something deeper and less tautological (and, incidentally, China and India are not in Africa).
You're right, the U.S. can do more to limit pollution. And you're right that Bush cares more about the current economy and his approval ratings than about long-term effects. But the question at hand is about Kyoto. If you have something constructive to offer on that question, I'll be more than happy to listen. Please do not, however, just write me off as a "person like that." Thank you.
"someone who gets his political philosphy from overpaid Hollywood twits."
Thats a lot better than getting it from your local religious fanatic A.K.A. preacher.
Religion and politics do not mix.
"It doesn't feel right to shoot an unarmed man... but I'll get over it."
America emits 25% of the greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, while only populating 5% of the world!
shareSo your solution is to follow AlGore back into the dark ages and spread the misery equally around the planet. That might please the Sudanese but it doesnt do anything for me.

Neither he nor Al Gore require that you go back into the dark ages. I guess you prefer hiding your head in the sand and spouting nonsense like this one.
So what? Plants LOVE having more CO2 so they at least will thank us. Can you or any one of the of the less than 60 scientists, (2500 is a total MYTH), on the IPCC provide even ONE piece convincing scientific evidence that human CO2 has any measurable affect on global temperature? There is zero correlation between CO2 v. temperature and also no 'hot spot'. That's two facts that disprove the theory - making it a dead one.
30 billion dollars of government 'research' spending later and still ZERO PROOF. What a waste... I could have used my share of that to help buy heating oil this winter.
Actually it was not the economy..it was about profit for his buddies and enablers. War profits at the cost to the economy..of course you could say I am using hindsight..but I said it in 98 to a lot of people when the PNAC came out more or less saying what they would do and that it would help the country.
I predicted after reading the pnac manifesto that w would win a cheated election (check), we would be at war on Iraq and or Iran(i missed Afghanistan) (check), w would win a second cheated election(check), and it would crash the economy and cost a fortune for bushcos wars. The first election was cheated by throwing a bunch of registered voters off the roles, I lived in fla where the brooks brothers rioters (bushbuddies) 'rioted' in the vote counting room they should have gone to jail for interfering with election officials but instead whatisname ws hired as a whitehouse staffer. We saw jeb bushes and kathy harris' henchmen shredding ballots at our polling place, were much harassed even to being put on the no fly list and having our home invaded and ransack, plus dozens of threats were uttered against us to the point where I started keeping loaded guns around the house. We saw the rpuke 'challengers' at work at our polling place and a bunch of people who were NOT felons being turned away as felons.

The president needs to sign the Kyoto accord. How hard is it to sign a piece of paper that will help the world???
