I'm all for this. It's probably inevitable. It's just a matter of time.

And this is with one of the most anti-environment conservative Republican presidencies...ever.

If a liberal Democrat like Barack Obama gets elected, we'll see binding international CO2 reductions as part of the first 100 days.

At the very least, the US will never be more anti-environment than it is right now given the current mood of the American public.

It doesn't really mean much as Bush only has 10 months left.

The damage has already been done.

Was hoping for binding water vapor reductions instead of CO2, since contrails produce most of the clouds & nighttime heating in our area.

now now heroinworshiper, you must not go against the consensus. That would make you a non-conformist. possibly even a terrorist. like that galileo guy who had the audacity to say the earth was not the center of the universe.

as I see it, most Americans want to see this happen and the political elite is just waiting for more blunt evidence. Maybe the hesitation of American leadership in this will be looked at this in history as the proverbial 'comma'.
