The earth is getting warming...big deal...it's been there and done that ...many times... More CO2 in the air? big deal, plants grow better with more CO2, bigger, stronger, produce more. Haveing poor countries try to use some quasi "global warming" threat to shake down rich nations is just silly.

They either learn to utilize thier natural resources more effciently or some one else from another nation will do it for them. Survival of the fittest, evolution at it's finest...

Sure alot of countries have reduced vast sections of thier forrests to nothing, that isn't over population, it's poor land management.

One Volcano puts out more CO2 than man has produced in the last 100 years. What are you going to do? blame volcanos for not being "green" enough?

World populations require a birth rate of 2.1 to maintain basic stability, anything below that and that population faces stagnation and eventual decline. Much of Europe has that problem now and so does Japan.

It's ridiculas to think I should lower my standard of liveing, something I worked hard for, just because of Chicken Little. Forget it, not doing it.
Besides, you think any of those national leaders are going to stop liveing high on the hog? even from those "poor" nations? You thing Hugo lives poorly?

Greenland was called Greenland because it was green, that's fact. There were several documented settlements that did very well for several hundred years, then it got cold, really cold...now it's getting warmer again, it happens.

Britain used to grow wine grapes 300 miles further North than they can now,( because it's currently too cold) this was just a few hundred years ago...that's also fact. France almost went to war over British wine makeing. Europe used to be much warmer than it is now, they grew massive amounts of grain and had a population explosion tripling their numbers with in a few decades. Then it got colder and they had huge die offs.

It's cyclical, warming and cooling happens ever 500 years or so, they have deep sea cores that show this cycal going back tens of thousands of years. It's due to get a few dagree's warmer globally in the next hundred years anyway, despite what we do, because of that cycal.
