What a bunch of BS.....none of these will do a bit of good unless we can get the Chinese to fart less What a bunch of BS indeed. The liberal answer is always meaningless gestures with no analysis or number crunching. Drive less? How much less? If 50% of americans drive 25% less, what will the effect be on the delta in temperature change, ceteris paribus. If you tell me 0.05 degrees over 40 years, well is it worth it? You have to hit the big items first, and make sure the sacrifice/cost of each is worth the benefit. And does drive less mean less climbing? Less expensive ski vacations, too? And I'll throw in again that a lot of this debate from the left is expressed in dire terms: "looming disaster", "catastrophe", etc. If there is a looming disaster, then wouldn't that require HUGE sacrifices? Something beyond stupid little slogans about taking the bus more? Or is this alarmist rhetoric simply a propaganda tool by some nutcases?

I'm sorry Hillary will fix all that within days of her inauguration. McCain had a chance, until he found Jesus Political reality in the US. I hated it when Lieberman starting toeing the Dem party line; I liked Obama, but he'll do the same. Giuliani has jumped on the religion talking points just like McCain. It's all lame.

If you can convince people that it will not cost them that much, they might not care. If you could convince people that certain changes actually *improve* their lives, irrespective of the question at hand, they might not care either. There are ways. Most people are sheeple, anyways. However, this only applies to the US. I also (more importantly) had in mind the WORLD in general. As underdeveloped nations become industrialized, how in the hell do we convince them to curb their carbon emissions? "We've got ours, you can't have yours" doesn't go over too well.

I'm sorry Hillary will fix all that within days of her inauguration.

Real Debate? That's the greatest delusion of all. Unskilled an unawares describes the cc.com conservative crew the real debate is what CAN we do about global warming (slow, stop or reverse it?) how much will it cost, how we will get everyone to participate, and just how much sacrifice people will actually make, you smug, condescending POS.

Europe is far more dependent on Middle East Oil than the US is.

THIS is post of the year!

Yeah, keep changing the subject of REAL debate.

I noticed.

Indeed! To wit, check out this picture of Bush and Kevboner. The resemblance is uncanny!

Very interesting…..did we attack back? I personally do not think if they attacked a building on their soil…..it is the same as attacking us here in the USA…..Come on dude…..you are grasping at straws…… Them attacking a building in their country in 1979 supports the need to bomb the shit out of the today? WTF? read. don't post!

Embassies are sovereign territory of a given country. I'm not sure you were alive, at the time, but there was a little thing back in '79 where our embassy was attacked and hostages were taken. I'd consider that an attack on our country; you may not, but you'd be wrong. noliquidity - Maybe you missed the part where GWB sent a letter imploring Pelosi to abandon her pursuit of this resolution, at this time. Further, Nancy Pelosi is not one to go helping the Republicans (remember her little visit to Syria?).

my oldest and youngest were born in October

fuck the past; i live for today. coke is it! naw, good ole C2H5OH will suffice for me.

fuck the past; i live for today.

Oh whoops….my bad….I forgot about that last time Iran attacked the USA…..wait….Google cant find anything about an attack by Iran……Google must be wrong because you are “big boy” playing in the big boy sand box….. Guess…..I will go and complain about how you made fun of me in Café sensitivo…… Boo hoo hoo….. So when is Mr. Bush going to attack Iran? Kevboner: post less; read and learn more.

roofies to get married? nice try at a barb, but it falls flat.

we should mandate TV manufacturers to require all televisions to be powered by a stationary bicycle... no electrical cord/outlet.

hot carl can only bed a chick too young and dumb to know he's a looooser.

I thought this was going to be about how Ann Coulter finally admitted to having been born Adam Coulter, and finally shutting the door of speculation about her Adam's Apple (pun intended).

They shouldn't be *losers*; they have talent.

National Geographic outlined the consequences of various courses of action quantitatively in a recent issue. It was nicely laid out. I gotta look at the issue again to see if it lists the concomitant costs associated with various courses of action (I don't think it did). We need a good cost-benefit analysis, with no "funny math". Personally I do drive a lot less, try not to waste electricity, keep the house heat down. But I benefit from all this too (more money to buy gear).

I'm not so sure the (mis)treatment of prisoners is anything really new for the US. It's just that we have media and openness and can find out about it. Just imagine what they do in Russia or China or Iran or... However, based on what you define as "torture" - I include waterboarding but exclude things like sleep-deprivation, threats, etc, I am bothered by it. I like McCain's stance on the issue and he would know it best.

OTOH, Turkey has hamstrung us over the last 17 years in our dealing with Iraq. We have to kow-tow to their desires even if it is not the best policy, with the greatest chance to succeed. Think Kurdistan.

My advice to you is to smoke less weed, and try to develop an intellect... assuming it's not too late.
