This is not a joke. They can cost U.S. taxpayers billions just in legal fees, and if they win a case the cost will be incalculable. Congress has to step in right now and forbid this kind of thing, as well as slapping sanctions on countries that host anti-U.S. forums of this or any kind. Let's make them pay for trying economic warfare against us.

"If you are indigenous and you have lived with your ancestors for upwards of seven to nine thousand years and you had a subsistence living which has been dependent upon the existence of ice, that is now a serious problem,"

What, are they all bartenders? This is a ridiculous statement.

Well, considering they held a forum at the UN, I'd say this would give congress a great excuse to show them freeloaders the door. Let them move to Paris, where they would be far more comfortable. Not that we'd need an excuse to book Kofi out, but this would be a great one.

Great, more welfare. What are they going to do if we say "screw you"? Invade us on their dog sledges?

Must be a slow news day. If these fools want to waste their money on this nonsense, let'em. The fundamental question is this: What CONCLUSIVE proof do they have that global warming is caused by human intervention? What CONCLUSIVE proof do they have that products produced by a given corporation have led to, caused, or contributed to global warming? What CONCLUSIVE proof do they have that global warming isn't a normal event that is found in nature?

Case dismissed, next!

It is an interesting footnote to history that the Rennaisance was a consequence of a period of global warming. Where were the SUVs and fossil fuels then? It is also interesting to note that "scientists" have determined that the Martian polar caps are also "melting".

So, how much does a Martian SUV sell for these days?

"A fool and his money are soon parted." These folks are going to prove it.

I see more & more of these stories where I think they might be true, or they might be a hoax, or farce.

The line has gotten blurry for me.

Head about a guy who had the wrong leg amputated in a surgery. He then had to have another surgery to amputate the correct leg.

He contacted a lawyer about filing suit, but was told he didn't have a leg to stand on.

So lets settle out of court and send them a few billion ice cubes.

Why can't they just report the cold, hard facts? Why water it down?

In reality there is no time, no space, and no causality. These are percepts. Thinking that the US has caused Global Warming is thinking in dreamland.
