For you to make that connection you are assuming that global warming will destroy the Earth as would a meteor strike of sufficient size - this isn't true.<BR/><BR/>We should fight global warming - assuming it's not a natural phenomenon. If it is, it's a foolish move to crush our own economy to follow a treaty like Kyoto.radarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05303447381461990333noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10625494.post-1129217589249096362005-10-13T10:33:00.000-05:002005-10-13T10:33:00.000-05:00I think your comments miss the point entirely. It...I think your comments miss the point entirely. It really doesn't matter if the warming is natural or man-made, does it? It is happening and it will be bad for billions of people. It will be bad for businesses and communities.<BR/><BR/>There is no doubt that reducing the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere will slow the rate of global warming. You are right, it may not matter what we do, it may not be enough. But are you saying we shouldn't even try?<BR/><BR/>If a meteor were hurtling toward the earth what should we do? By your arguments, we should do <I>nothing</I> because (1) this is a natural phenomenon, and meteors have hit the earth in the past, and (2) If we try to stop it, we can spend trillions of dollars and only have a small chance of success (despite what we see in the movies), therefore, we shouldn't even try.<BR/><BR/>America wasn't founded by people who laid down and died without a fight. Thomas Edison didn't invent the light bulb by giving up when he saw it was highly unlikely he would succeed.<BR/><BR/>We are Americans! We will overcome this challenge of nature, and we will live, and thrive, and remain the greatest nation on Earth!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
