    More "science" from the people who bought you "young earth" and "women have a way to shut all that down."

    How about China and India getting on board the environmental gravy train? Ooops! They don't care, which essentially means anything the US does is instantly negated. Care to discuss or deny it? Can we fine them for doing far more damage than the US is doing?

    Don't be ridiculous with this Marxist plot rubbish. You never heard of the Montreal Protocol or the very real threat we faced with the depletion of our protective ozone layer which, due to the ban on CFC use, is now repairing itself? Or was that just more Marxist plotting, in your opinion?

    I guess republicans think the dustbowl was a completely natural or nonexistent phenomenon too.

    Just because an idiot decides it's a good thing to jump off a bridge are you going to follow suit? "They aren't doing anything so why should we" is a (*)(*)(*)(*)-poor cop-out.

    Anyway, since you clearly didn't bother to carry out even the most basic of searches on the subject, here's some help:http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/wor...-invests-235-billion-to-tackle-pollution.html

    It didn't have time to cause any significant damage because we acted (it's called 'pre-emption'). What a dumb question!

    LOL, amazing naviete displayed daily by you and others. "we acted" ???? exactly what did china and india do to close the evil ozone hole?

    it didn't cause any damage because it was a natural event, "we" didn't stop it. How can you be so ignorant?

    First, we're not talking about China or India, and second it is a proven fact that man-made CFCs were depleting the ozone at an alarming rate. We banned CFC use and, guess what, the layer began to heal itself. Please, just do some basic fact-finding before making a fool of yourself.http://www.epa.gov/ozone/science/sc_fact.html

    So you are convinced that actions in the USA can change the climate of the planet? You do realize that US laws do not apply to the rest of the planet don't you?

    Do you really believe that the US banning CFC in spray cans caused the ozone hole to get smaller? that "hole" has be fluctuating for millions of years----but we, the great USA, changed it in a few years-------------come on snakescrewer, wake up.

    First we clean up our own house.

    Then we can say who can come in. It is not difficult to impose trade restrictions that would require compliance with certain environmental standards.

    I have read all of the so-called AGW "science". Its political BS intended to promote statism and take away human freedoms.

    But if you want to work on a real cause, why not attack overpopulation?

    No you haven't read a single thing-that I can guarantee. Your own EPA (Marxist, probably) knows a thing or two about the issue. Perhaps you also could learn something if you bothered to take your blinders off: http://www.epa.ie/whatwedo/advice/air/ozone/
    If you really can't be bothered to learn then I can't help you.

    Brrr... all i know is it is freezing here in AZ!! The snowbirds are freezing. The locals are freezing. We need to ramp up some more carbon emissions & get this global warming thing going better.. it's not working very well at the moment.

    Wow! Just wow! Stop using BS words? Like what? Could 'BS words' be an example of BS words?

    "Or don't bother posting." Interesting. Dissenters shouldn't be allowed to offer alternative opinions or analyses? Is that what the scientific method is all about? I don't think so. What you think is science is much more closer to religion.

    Good science can easily withstand scrutiny. Bad religion needs gaurdians against heresy to protect itself.
