Does the world need the US to stop Global Warming?

At a meeting in Greenland, environmental ministers from twenty-three countries met to discuss global warming and what can be done about it. One of the huge glaciers in Greenland has been shrinking for about forty years, and some scientists fear that the heating of the earth will bring about catastrophic changes.

I believe that human being do have an effect on the environment. If it wasn't for humans their might be wooly mammoths cruising through Canada, and hundreds of species of animals would still be around. But what the environmentalist crowd doesn't think about is that humans are a part of the food chain, and that our effect on the planet and climate is not something that started a couple of decades ago.

Once again, the rest of the world is trying to push the US into signing and abiding by the Kyoto treaty which would cripple the US economy and let gross polluters like China and India get off without even a slap on the hand.

and let gross polluters like China and India get off without even a slap on the hand

China and India both put out less co2 than the US and much much less on a per capita basis and more on a per dollar of GDP.

The point you are missing is that Greenland was called that because at the time of its discovery, it was Green and thought possible for a human colony.

To the title of the article, if anyone solves the co2 problem, it will be the US via technology.

Yes! Technology advances on taking the Co2 out of the air and recycliong it.

However, one thing I never see anyone talk about is working on the enviornment in the hot spots. I shudder when I see sandstorms in Iraq at 130 degrees. Instead of expensive meetings in Greenland, some gritty conservation work to improve the enviornment and cool things down in certain areas is indicated imho.

..the Kyoto agreement was nothing but a way to reach deeper into the American taxpayer's pocket.

I cannot believe John McCain and Hillary Clinton went to see global warming for themselves!!!!! McCain says there is no doubt....and I say he is a nutcase bigtime. Weather runs in cycles...on again, off again. Global warming may be happening now, in this cycle...but it will change, just wait. There is absolutely NOTHING mankind can do to change the earth....emmissions and all. I live in the shadow of Mt. St. Helens, and in a ten minute blast, more emmissions from the earth was spuewed out than in the last hundred years on earth. Real scientific men of weather and earth change say so, and the junk science of Algore's global science is nothing more than to pick the pockets of all Americans.
