Brwn_eyes, your article is a joke. sorry.

We've all heard the stories, reported as indisputable fact: The last century or decade is just about the hottest the world has ever been. Carbon dioxide from burning gasoline and coal is blamed. Unless their solution is enacted right now, temperatures will rise terribly in the next century. Icecaps will start to melt, coasts will flood, storms will get worse, diseases will spread, animals will die, and more. And it's all because of us Americans.

for the most part, yeah.

There are other problems, as well. Solar activity may be the cause of the world temperature changes. The global warmers can't explain why satellites show no temperature change in the past 20 years. The computer models that predict disaster in a century have been completely wrong for the past 20 years. And no one can agree on the side effects.

This is bunkum. Satellites cannot measure OCEAN temperatures (which is the cause of hurricanes.) They also cannot explain why whole glaciers are being calved off of the arctic and antarctic ice caps. Give me a break.

Scientific facts actually helped unravel the treaty last year. Carbon dioxide is removed from the air by various natural and manmade processes, and world leaders couldn't agree on how to credit for this. No one wanted the U.S. to get credit for removals of carbon dioxide, so negotiations faltered.

More bunkum. the only natural "filter" that can remove carbon dioxide is plant life, which is being destroyed at unprecedented levels each year by greedy governments that care more about profit than this planet. And those much vaunted "man-made" filters are decreasing or decaying, thanks to Monkey Boy's pandering to Corporations (by not enforcing stricter environmental controls.) Your Author is a quack.

The global warmers have failed to prove that man has caused a problem. This hasn't stopped them from demanding we act, and act now.

Failure to do so will be increasingly detrimental. All you have to do is wait and see. Us "global warmers" will be right, but we will ALL be in trouble, the "nay sayers" will only have themselves to blame.

The Kyoto Protocol called for the U.S. and other western nations to shoulder most of the limits on fossil fuel energy use. Developing countries suffer little or no restrictions.

Those countries are obviously enthusiastic. The economic powerhouses would have their hands tied, while would-be competitors like mainland China would not.

President Bush has sided with the scientific facts in recently declining to implement the Kyoto limits. After all, the treaty is so bad the Senate opposed it 95 to zero.

President Bush is siding with Oil interests. Period.

Bush and Congress must go further. They should refuse any regulation of carbon dioxide emissions whatsoever.

Is this guy for real? He must be a paid hack.

The current power supply problems in California are a perfect example. They are not a consequence of true deregulation, but of environmental and anti-free market restrictions on power production. This is the same thing proposed in Kyoto, and the same thing still promoted by some Washington leaders.

The power crisis in CA was MANUFACTURED by OIL INTERESTS.
FACT. If I had a rotten tomato, I'd hurl it at this guy so fast it'd leave a DENT.
