"They are the biggest culprit and they are the biggest offender of climate," said Stephan Singer, head of the environmental group WWF's climate change policy unit.
That's interesting. For something to be "offended", it has to have personality, or at least some inherent moral value. Climate has neither, unless this guy is a "Gaian".
The US, the world's biggest economy, consumes around a quarter of global energy and causes nearly 30 percent of worldwide greenhouse gas emissions.
And feeds half the world. Next.

US President George W. Bush has incurred the wrath of environmentalists by abandoning the 1995 Kyoto ProtocolIs there not even a modicum of shame left in media to prevent them for overtly lying?
To: Screamname
From their website:
Back in 1961 when it was founded, WWF stood for the "World Wildlife Fund". However, as the organization grew over the 70s and into the 80s, WWF began to expand its work to conserve the environment as a whole (reflecting the interdependence of all living things), rather than focusing on selected species in isolation. So although we continued to use our well-known initials, our legal name became "World Wide Fund For Nature" (except in North America where the old name was retained).
More and more, however, to avoid confusion and mixed messages across borders and languages, WWF is known as simply "WWF, the global conservation organization."
Yeah, now they're just confused with the World Wrestling Federation. Much better.

How can the USA be responsible for orbital precession?

How can the USA be responsible for orbital precession? Or Solar radiation?
Maybe Chimpy McBushhitler and his Dark Overlord Cheney Halliburton are shipping fleets of SUVs to Mars, just to deceive us all into believing that the recession of the Martian ice caps is natural. After all, nothing natural could cause that...at least not when you suffer from BDS.

Kyoto is nothing other than a Cap and Trade Scheme designed to paralyze the US economy for the benefit of China.

...now they're confused with the World Wrestling Federation Just remember that one of the organizations relies upon fakery, while the other produces professional wrestling shows.

According to the most recent UN report, the USA is not even in the Top 10 in the world.

The United States, the world's top belcher of greenhouse gas emissions, is "the biggest culprit" of climate change, the WWF said Thursday, urging Washington to take swift action against global warming. "They are the biggest culprit and they are the biggest offender of climate," said Stephan Singer, head of the environmental group WWF's climate change policy unit. More evidence of the "dumbing down" of the world. My guess is that Stephen Singer is nothing more than a leftist political hack. Why else would anyone claim that anything humankind does causes climate change? Climate change has been going on for millions of years. Climate change is caused by the Sun.

They say we contribute 30% of greenhouse gas emissions; So figure that since the atmosphere is made up of only 0.0383% CO2 (which you can read as ‘zero point zero’) one can tell that what comes from humans must be incredibly small. So what is 30% of basically nothing? This is how insane this whole global warming thing is. It`s like someone taking a grain of sand from a beach and then declaring the beach is “eroding”.
Composition of
dry atmosphere, by volume
ppmv: parts per million by volume
Gas Volume
Nitrogen (N2) 780,840 ppmv (78.084%)
Oxygen (O2) 209,460 ppmv (20.946%)
Argon (Ar) 9,340 ppmv (0.9340%)
Carbon dioxide (CO2) 383 ppmv (0.0383%)
Neon (Ne) 18.18 ppmv
Helium (He) 5.24 ppmv
Methane (CH4) 1.745 ppmv
Krypton (Kr) 1.14 ppmv
Hydrogen (H2) 0.55 ppmv

And the U.S. ratio of productivity to unit of greenhouse gas also happens to be the highest in the world.

I guarantee you that China and India combined are much greater than the U.S. contribution to atmospheric plant fertilizer.

Jack Kemp likes to point out that better than half of everything ever made by the hand of man has been made in America by Americans. So let’s see...5% of the world’s population making half the world’s stuff, while using only 25% of the resources, and producing 20% of the pollution...not bad at all.
On the other hand, 95% of the population produces less than half the world’s stuff, using 75% of the resources and producing 80% of the pollution... not so good. Oh, and that same 5% also feeds the other 95%.
