people always say that we should do something about it? But what are we going to do about it? the US alone can't curb their contribution to global warming---what makes us think that other nations let alone developing industrial nations will curb their contributions to global warming? there is the outcry of we need to do something, but when it hits your wallet, I think people are less apt to wanna do something.sSubZerOo
Funny you should say that because the US has in the last international meeting has agreed on the smallest reduction in CO2 restrictions of any other country.. We are infact the stingiest country of most industrialized nations when it comes to improving our enviromental technologies.. We are also amazingly so dependent on outside sources of energy that nations such as Brazil has passed us in becoming completely energy efficent.. That seems quite pathetic when Brazil has no where near the wealth of any other nations out there.
Lets not forget we are stingy on alot of things not just enviromental areas, but foriegn aid as well.. Just throwing that out in the wind that the US can have SOOO much improvment.. thats why I was crying out laughing at the republican talks when they all said that they would not chang ea single thing or improve a single thing ht eUS.. THat it was fine the way it is.. Ignorance at its highest level imo...
It would make sense though to be stingy as well wouldnt it? i mean our economy is based on these industries. Brazil is actually a pretty wealthy nation havin the 9th highest gdp in the world, and i seriously think you misunderstand the term "stingy." Thinking what would benefit the nation most is not stingy. As for dogging on the Republicans, i might add this is both parties fault. The democrats hold the majority of the seats, so if its not the democrats fault, Co2 emmissions wouldve decreased recently wouldnt they have? As for ignorance, kinda hippocritical, seeing as how half of your opinion isnt based on fact.
