And the judges say...

Comment comment by nickfranklin on 02 February 2007

Real hot story today--pun wasn't intended, but i think that's pretty good for doing it by accident--the UN climate panel (in a report that was criticized before it came out for being too meek) reports there's a '90% certainty that the burning of fossil fuels and other human activities are driving climate change.'

RE: And the judges say... by LordDilly :: NR8

China says that the UN report could go *&%$ itself, in a manner of speaking. The same China that will be putting out the equivalent of something like 1 million Ford Expeditions being driven a billion miles a year's worth of pollution (keep in mind I heard the statistics on Glen Beck, and I suck at remembering numbers, but you get the point.) So, if China doesn't give a rat's ass about Global Warming, and China is looking at being a huge polluter (more than the U.S.), than where does that leave us?
