I don't dispute that humans are making an impact. I do, however, dispute the extent of the impact some scientists are claiming. But that is neither here nor there. As I've said several times in this thread if you want to do something about global warming start with the rainforests, the Chinese, the Mexicans, the Indians, etc. If they give you the finger (And they will) you are wasting your breath. Demanding that only western nations do something about it when our borders are finite will change barely anything aside from costing us billions of dollars and scores of jobs. If we are to take a huge economic hit to institute change then our competitors should have to as well to keep the playing field fair. It's becoming more impossible to compete with the Chinese everyday and anything you would have us do they should agree to do.

[QUOTE="Sean Elifritz, post: 100783, member: 1787"] I don't dispute that humans are making an impact. I do, however, dispute the extent of the impact some scientists are claiming. But that is neither here nor there. As I've said several times in this thread if you want to do something about global warming start with the rainforests, the Chinese, the Mexicans, the Indians, etc. If they give you the finger (And they will) you are wasting your breath. Demanding that only western nations do something about it when our borders are finite will change barely anything aside from costing us billions of dollars and scores of jobs. If we are to take a huge economic hit to institute change then our competitors should have to as well to keep the playing field fair.
