Climate Change Experts Despair Over US Attitude
by Maggie Fox

WASHINGTON - Climate change experts said on Tuesday they are frustrated the U.S. government and the public are not taking the risk of global warming seriously.

They said even as sea levels rise and crop yields fall, officials argue over whether climate change is real and Americans continue to drive fuel-guzzling SUVs.

"There is going to be large change," said atmospheric scientist David Battisti of the University of Washington in Seattle. "The risks are very large."

The group met at the American Association for the Advancement of Science to try to drive home the message that climate change is already under way.

"You hope that somehow people will understand that we have got to do something now," Joyce Penner, an atmospheric scientist at the University of Michigan, said in an interview. "Some people get it -- some people are driving hybrids. But there is a problem with the American public."

1. That reminds me

I was watching Headline News one morning and their WEATHER guy had the nerve to make snarky comments about how there isn't any global warming. The anchor bimbo did the same.

Nice that they have such knowledgeable people discussing such important issues - the ones that affect not only everyone in the WORLD now but also future generations, isn't it?

:puke:

3. Blow Dried Morons. Cardboard cutouts.

Most DUers have FORGOTTEN more things than these air-heads know.

Is is a terrible thing to be happy their descendants will suffer horribly, probably within less than 200 years, even IF we Restore the Old American Republic these Blow Dreid Assholes don;t deserve.

To be honest, they deserve Tyranny. They deserve to lick the boots of their masters, the Busheviks. they deserve it all. I just wish they lived in the Soviet Union or retired to the Old Pravda Whores Home in Novosibirisk.

I hear now that Imperial Orwellian Tyranny has spread to Amerika and is returning to Comrade Putin's Russia, they are going to open the Amerikan Wing for Old Pravda Whores.

That wing will be filled to capacity in MINUTES and have a Waiting List of Hundreds.

4. But.. But...

"Science" is just another tool of Satan to get people to doubt Jesus. Once he comes back, it's not going to matter, because I'm going to be up in heaven with Pat Robertson and Ollie North and the Gipper and you sinning fornicators will be wailing in the lake of fire with all the hairy feminists and the queers and the folks who watch Sex and the City. Anyway, Ann Coulter said that "God gave the Earth to Man to Rape" (mmm. I love it when she gets all worked up) and that's good enough for me and my walnut-sized cerebellum.

This is my main problem with Yanks (not all of you) is this attitude of waste and excess and justifying it with all that American Dream bullshit.
