Can't you see that both parties attempt to manipulate us for reasons totally unrelated to the Global Warming issue? 300 million Americans cannot possibly reverse or offset what potentially 1.3 Billion Chinese consumers will produce in CO2 emmissions as the Chinese economy continues to grow. Do you really believe that a majority of Americans will choose to live with less and will be willing to pay more for Food, Energy, etc. while developing countries are given a free pass on their emmissions? Human nature tells me that they WILL NOT! Why should this all come down to Republican vs. Democrat.

The line seems to be to blame environmentalists(!) for the crisis because of their association (in the 'thinking' of the right) with left wing groups, and still to argue that cutting greenhouse emissions is compatible with exponential economic growth as the main policy goal. You only need to state it clearly to render it absurd. Check out the Murdoch press e.g. the Times in the UK.

It's scary how many otherwise seemingly intelligent people -- not just rednecks -- believe the G.O.P.'s version of reality. I suppose the right <em>has</em> to be better a lying, because there's so much to cover up.

Then you change your argument and say that I cherry-picked the data, when in fact I used all available data from the Annual Report to the UN on Greenhouse Gas Emissions to prove that the US has reduced the rate of emissions compared to the 90's.
