Why would I have faith in God? I've seen no proof of God.
That being said, I see proof of climate change all around me.

Kyoto has been one of the most influential summits to date, as it sets out a binding protocol for reducing carbon emissions. For countries in the EU, this involves a commitment to reducing carbon emissions by 12.5% by 2012.

Commitments they largely discarded.
What do you think the switch from incandescent lighting, more fuel efficient cars and planes, the developing alternate energy sources is all about?

It is too bad that the US, one of the largest sources of CO2 is so infested with AGW deniers.

It will happen because it has been happening since the first mammal crawled out of the primordial ooze.

Get over it.

What would a MAMMAL be doing in the primordial ooze?
Yes, boys and girls, this is the level of intelligence we are dealing with.

On another forum, several times, I went with very voluminous posts on the same bent, and was just as summarily ignored. Anthropomorphic hubris is funny to watch, especially when it is combined with near religious fervor that shuns anything remotely smacking of contradiction to established orthodoxy.

And so far I count 4 references to China in this thread, and none of the zealots want to respond to the "what about China" question.

The U.S. met it's Kyoto goal, even without signing on to it.

Canada, on the other hand...

Is that for every consensus or just those that contradict right-wing talking points?

And it would appear all your little talking points found on blogs and tabloids are still garbage. Guess you guys didn't cry about Al Gore enough to make reality what you and clowns like Inhofe want it to be.

That's because your point was irrelevant. And I can't think of a single reason to think you have anything like the qualifications to declare what's signifigant and what's not. You seem to think your opinion holds just as much weight as that of the world's experts. It doesn't.
