#1 I think they have concluded that Bush has realized that they are not only full of shiat, but are trying to get the US to do all the heavy lifting while they cash in with a scummier scam than food for oil.

#2 "Under President George W. Bush, who will leave office in January, the United States backed out of the Kyoto Protocol"
Bull crap. Total bull crap. In 1997, three years before Bush was elected, the U.S. Senate unanimously passed by a 950 vote the Byrd-Hagel Resolution which stated the sense of the Senate was that the United States should not be a signatory to any protocol that did not include binding targets and timetables for developing nations. In 1998, Vice President Al Gore symbolically signed the protocol anyway. The Kyoto Protocol is non-binding on the United States unless ratified by the U.S. Senate. It has never come even remotely close to ratification. Blaming Bush is absurd. Blame Al Gore for living a fantasy and disrespecting the will of the U.S. Senate.

#4 The left were always into the Big lie stuff, and you can't get a bigger lie than Gerbil Worming.

#5 They aren't supposed to know all that...stuff.

If they could deal with icky stuff like facts, history and arithmetic, they would not have gone into journalism.

Personally, I think we should shut down the gloabal economy NOW! Each day we waste is another day colder. I mean, warmer. Errr, more changey.

#6 SteveS,

Insulting journalists about "more changey" makes you a mean square.

#7 Well, at least I didn't try to confuse them with sciencey words like Maunder Minimum and Sun Spot Cycle 23.

#9 A global decision on how much rich countries should slash their greenhouse gas emissions in the next decade should be made after the United States has a new ~~Democrat~~ president, the UN climate chief said Tuesday.

Doesn't have to be a democrat - look at McCain's position on GW...

#10 Well, Byrd and Hagel will probably be in the Senate next year. They can always reintroduce their resolution.
If these people really believed in glowbull wormening, they would be having teleconferences rather than flying around the world for their conferences. Or better yet, discussing it via regular mail, sent by sailing ships, since any other means of communication contributes to global warming.
