Why has Global Warming become a US of A political issue? What is starting to irk me is that many deniers of Global Warming are mentioning political issues that are relevant only to the US of A.

This is a GLOBAL ENVIROMENTAL issue. What the hey do politics have to do with it?

What is the rest of the world to do while the USA settles this? Keep paying dollars and health, and watch the state of the planet deteriorate until they make up their minds?

OK, so fare I have had no answer to my question which is, why have the %26quot;American people%26quot; made this all about them? I am not interested in quotes and nebulous acusations.

As fare as I can tell, people from the USA don%26#039;t give a red cent for the rest of the world as long as they can enjoy the american way of life, so why are they the ones that get to decide if this is real or not? They didn%26#039;t even sign the Kyoto agreement!

Last I heard, America was comprised of Canada, Greenland, Mexico, and all the countries in South America. So YES I do feel concerned when my downstairs neighbore does not give a hoot about me. Where will you be going for refuge if this is real and your %26quot;southern%26quot; country starts getting to hot for comfort? Then go to the bathroom. Report Abuse

  • The AGW believers can have all the alarmism they want and speculate on whether it will get so hot that the North pole will completely disappear this year or next year.

    Only thing you can%26#039;t do is actually detect an increase in temperature. The hottest year on record was 1998 - for all we know global warming ended 10 years ago.

    You can also bemoan the rate at which the polar bears are dying out, but you can%26#039;t observe a decrease in polar bear numbers. The population of polar bears has been increasing since the 1970%26#039;s.
  • People sell fear in order to gain power. That is all it is about. Then those who push this theory want money and grants for research. Then they push for a carbon tax. It is very scary what some will do once they gain power
  • Scientific facts have made up the minds of the informed. The earth%26#039;s temperature is cyclic and man has nothing to do with that. Consider it settled.
  • The deserts are expanding, glaciers are melting and the climate is going to get even warmer. So what, when that happens there will be still be plenty of room for us on the island of Antarctica.
  • hehe...maybe because of Al Gore%26#039;s %26quot;An Inconvenient Truth%26quot;...just my guess.
  • because i DON%26quot;T care about the rest of the world...

    i dont%26#039; live in the rest of the world nor do i believe that i should be bound or ruled by the government of a country i have nothing to do with...

    I notice you didn%26#039;t have any recommendations just complaints.. the rest of the world can start by showing positive motions themselves.. they set great goals.. but have shown no signs of ACHIEVING those goals... the countries that are close to being able to meet the goals are REDUCING carbon emissions they are just buying credits...

    so in short in America ... global warming IS a USA issue..

    in England it should be JUST UK issue

    in France just a france issue.. etc.
  • The USA is the last bastion of truly free people- not subects of government rule.
    We make our own decisions and won%26#039;t tolerate government intrusion in our personal decision making.
    We certainly won%26#039;t tolerate the UN telling us what to do.
    AGW is a trojan horse for global socialism.
    Most American citizens want no part of socialism or big government ruling over us. Our constitution guarantees us the right to arms to keep tyranny in check and most of us are armed.
    Unlike the rest of the %26quot;free%26quot; world we enjoy freedoms the rest of you lost long ago.
    Kyoto is a joke and does nothing but line the pockets of the elite who dreamed it up(the oil for food bunch at the UN). Citizen, not subject
