>What's that supposed to mean? "Didn't need to die"? Preventable deaths. As in, if we'd cut down our fossil fuel usage by half, they wouldn't happen. >Give me a break. The Industrial Revolution caused the deaths of millions of people. Did they "need" to die? If they knew then what we know now... >Six billion people on this planet is going to have an impact on the environment, especially when a 1/3 of them are quickly catching up to the living standards of America and Europe. I guarantee you that those 1/3 don't give a rat's ass about global warming; hence their exclusion from Kyoto. There are things that can be done. We refuse to take the lead. Heck, we refuse to even follow. We go on the other way. >It's called progress. No doubt we have to find ways to minimize the impact on the environment, but the alarmism is just going way too far. If the trends can in fact be reversed by us changing our action, the alarmism is justified. >Global warming is a pimple on our ass ... A cancerous pimple. -Z
