br> -- Jay W. Molyneaux br> Wellington, Florida /p> p> I subscribe to a British science magazine that consistently publishes global warming articles. They are positively convinced that developed ( wealthy ) nations' big business' and fossil fuels are the culprit behind this ' threat '. Yet another article a few pages away features the air pollution of China ; so bad respirators are a necessity in the cities. China could give a hoot about coal scrubbers, catalytic converters , banning barbecues and lawn mowers , or hybrid cars. Mexico follows suit. How does one cook and stay warm in India or Africa ?. Burn wood or anything else carbon that will heat. Where does Kyoto figure into third world countries and their actions ?. What percentage do they contribute to greenhouse gases ?. No mention and is conveniently omitted. Quoting Michaels, " there really isn't anything you can do about it ". br> -- Russel Ready /p>

An additional point or three: Their oft-mentioned "computer models" predicting bad stuff are a result of computer programmers who can/will design a model to say whatever he's been hired to have it say. Too few people have noted that the sun is in a warmer trend these days, it's kinda cyclical.

NASA's guy is another joke: If you'll recall, NASA was trying to just justify a budget when they stumbled across an ozone hole, remember? Voila! So, sure, NASA is hardly a "reliable source" because, like any governmental group or bureaucracy, it's only interested in those "facts" that justify more "research" and more taxpayer dollars -- to insure their own damned jobs!

Interestingly, as I recall, Mount Erebus down in Antarctica spews more crap into the atmosphere in one day than mankind does in a decade or so.

Also not mentioned but pretty important, the idea that countries which are "clean" can SELL their credits to unclean states -- hence, it's simply another internationalist type ploy to redistribute wealth and install more global socialism.

p>Yet, for all the actual facts which we may quote, those Koyota clowns will shout you down with nasty epitaphs every time. A no-win situation? Kinda like Dubya's no-win/"containment" war in Iraq, 'ay? Sad. br> -- Frost
