I believe this is really about whether or not global warming is something to fear and you are the right person to take on that debate. Couldn't think of anyone more prepared.

Thank you, but don't build me up too much will ya! :wah: Climate change is something to worry about, but at this stage you might as well just get on with things, because its happening now already, and its too late to stop a lot of what is going to happen at this stage. The things that are going to happen in terms of the climate will make a lot of this speculation and philosophical point-scoring redundant anyway, and the reality of situation is going to be very clear, quite shortly, hopefully the unavoidable stuff will not be catastrophic (hopefully), and we will gradually be able to mitigate the damage and learn to live with a somewhat different climate, while also making our economies carbon neutral over the medium to long term. In the long term we may be alright. Its definetly something that you should worry about it, but fear? No, its too serious and too late to be afraid, we just have to get on with it now.

Thats funny. The way we stereotype entire nations. And the Middle East, I imagine families eating dinner together and talking about their childrens school day is fairly the norm as well.
I do know the Europeans love their porn in cafes while drinking espresso though. Thats just fact.

Tongue in cheek or inflammatory? I searched the BBC site with keywords such as "United States" "world" and "destroys" but I couldn't find one article that was relevant. How about a link to this supposed news story?
I also believe being called "moron" and "idiot" is inflammatory. Has anyone taken into account that BR was being goaded into making some of the comments that have caused concern in another thread?

Environmentalists have attacked US claims that America is doing as much to curb global warming as any other nation that signed the Kyoto deal. They were reacting to statements by the US government delegation at the international meeting on climate change in the Argentine capital, Buenos Aires. A speaker from the US section of Greenpeace accused the government for censoring the work of its scientists. Jessica Coven said the US was using the science to delay the need to act. Ms Coven also said the US government's much-vaunted technical innovation was largely misdirected.

US to reject UK climate measures, By Roger Harrabin BBC Environment Correspondent
Tony Blair's vision of a new deal on climate change at the forthcoming summit of G8 industrialised nations looks likely to be heading for failure. President Bush's chief climate negotiator has told the BBC that the USA will agree to only one of three of Mr Blair's targets for the Gleneagles meeting. Mr Blair hopes the Americans will agree that recent developments in climate science have proved the need for urgent action to protect the planet from the risk of catastrophic harm. He wants to tie the Americans into a new international agreement on cutting emissions now they have refused to ratify the Kyoto protocol. And he wants the US to commit more of its wealth towards developing new technologies that will allow people to keep their current lifestyles without damaging the climate.
But Mr Bush's climate negotiator Harlan Watson said the president would agree to only one of the three. Mr Watson said the US would continue its investment in technology. But he said the science on climate was still uncertain and did not merit urgent action. Mr Watson said the US would not commit to any new international climate agreement on cutting emissions. He said the president had committed to reducing the amount of greenhouse gas emitted for every dollar earned in the economy. But he would not agree to the overall cuts in emissions to which most other leading nations aspire. The UK government's chief scientist says industrialised nations need to cut emissions by at least 60% and believes simply making production a little more efficient is irresponsibly inadequate. Scientists are particularly angry that the US' reluctance to move urgently on the issue is holding back the rest of the world.

"Oh spot, that's not relevant"? Tosh, dearie, of course it is and it's pretty typical of BBC coverage.

According to the BBC the USA is determined to kill us all by not subscribing to the climate 'change' hysteria that's reached such a pitch in GB that our PM has to defend his use of aeroplanes.
By the way, why do you feel obligated to defend this thread? I was actually hoping the originator of this topic could supply the link. You've been known to ask for as much from an unverified source or quote.

Lordie me... the BBC search returns articles in relevance order, not date order, and I'm not going to try to filter just this year's articles out.
As for search criteria, perhaps that's where you need practice, or even a look in Google for Dummies. You need to be aware of synonyms, in this case "planet" for "world" and "catastrophic harm" for "destroy". The term "USA" needs no translation.
I wandered in not so much to defend the OP as to put right the notion that the thread's another terrorist attack on America. The OP makes it quite clear that he's challenging the objectivity of his national broadcaster, not the US administration. Were it me I'd go with the editorial board but that's a different matter.

The poolhall's a great equalizer. In the poolhall, nobody cares how old you are, how young you are, what color your skin is or how much money you've got in your pocket... It's about how you move. I remember this kid once who could move around a pool table like nobody had ever seen. Hour after hour, rack after rack, his shots just went in. The cue was part of his arm and the balls had eyes. And the thing that made him so good was... He thought he could never miss. I know, 'cause that kid was me.

Why does the USA want to destroy the world?
What do you know about Shrike that we don't, Spot? I ask because I've seen zero from it other than shitstirring. Normally you'd be on someone like this like white on rice. What gives?

Personally, I think global warming is a load of crap. And even if it isn't I don't bloody care.
What's posterity ever done for me?

wow. Thats the most selfish thing I have read in many years. !!
A load of crap. ? You don't care. ? We are so lucky that there are not too many of your type in the world, or we really would be 'dead and gone'. To hell with everybody else in the world, women, kids, the poor, the deprived. The animals, life itself. !! "all for me, and to hell with you". Posterity ? What have you ever done for it. ?

Unfortunately, that kind of attitude does exist and does lead to the problems we're facing today.
So, Shrike exemplifies the problem.

Is it possible that the USA can, even at this late date, understand sarcasm?
We are indeed separated by a common language.

Why does an 'Irishman' support a club based in Birmingham, England?
Have you no national pride? You fly the tricolour as a poster.
At least you don't support Manchester United, which is the miserable choice of so many of your countrymen.

I do wish you wouldn't roll your eyes, Galbally.
But as I seem to have your attention at the moment...have you ever heard of Edna St Vincent Millay, the great American poet?
Was she taught in your school or did you discover her at University?
