US climate change plan 'disastrous and Neanderthal' - ABC News (Australian Broadcasting Corporation)

Once again the current administration shows it's complete ignorance of the real issues in relation to climate change - though I will admit that it IS at last acknowledging there actually IS an issue.

But the real undercurrent in all of this is that America wants a free ride to continue to pollute as it has while the rest of us have to clean up after it.

We haven't had a normal Spring in the Northeast US in over 5 years. This year March was in like a lion, and Out like a Lamb.

I think everything's fine now, the Earth is self-correcting.. You are aware the climate changes every season...?

Forget the fact that 2007 was the coolest year globally for the last 17 years.

I have no idea what you are talking about in reference to spring in the NE but Australia is still suffering from drought - finally we have had a bit of a reprieve with this year's La Nina but that has not broken the drought. Just because your little corner of the world remains unaffected do not think the rest of us are not suffering.

I can respect the idea that we should be environmentally friendly. But we need to think rationally when it comes to trusting our governments, and the hysteria that they are proposing on us about doom and gloom scenarios. The cap and trade legislations that were being offered were ridiculous and would be horrible for people.

Bush is pushing for things the private sector will probably do anyway. Climate change happens...it always has and it always will. We really don't know how much humans contribute, and it has become too politicized. The biggest problem with Bush is that he is conceding to the alarmist's view of doom and gloom....at least he recognized it was a complicated subject.

I agree, and I think I'll go as far as to say we are arrogant to think we could effect this planet that drastically. Tomorrow this Earth could change forever, while we sit, powerless to change her decision..

My biggest problem stems from what just happened to me as I was typing this very line. Global Warming? Climate Change? I mean what is the correct terminology anyway, because it Only depends on what Political Label you slapped on your forehead this morning?

Why so Partisan? If this were a Globe changing event, why would Americans leaders decide to all choose one side and run with it to both extremes?

Answer: Money

And I'm not buying..

Since the theoretical underpinnings of predictable climate change were disproven in 1961 by Edward Lorenz at the MIT meterological school I find this thread a riot. Drought a function and symptom of warming? That's interesting. but just say the word and Florida will sacrifice its hurricane season to cool the Earth. Just get the EU to sign off on current turbines in the Gulf Stream. Of course Tasmania might experience a white Christmas if the Australian summer gets warm enough for snow. (The Gulf Stream is why there are no glaciers in Andulasia or points further north in Europe.) My horseback guess is that such turbines will lower global temperatures about 10 degrees Centigrade minimum, so just give the word and that little problem will be solved in 5 years or less.
