Kyoto - msgnet

Even if every industrialised country, including the United States, had accepted the (Kyoto) protocol, and everyone had lived up to its requirements for the entire century, it would have had virtually no impact, even a hundred years from now. It would reduce the global temperature increase by an immeasurable 0.15C by the year 2100. The cost of implementing Kyoto, taking the average figure from the various top macroeconomic models, would have been almost £100 billion annually for the rest of the century. - msgnet

My topic today sounds humorous but unfortunately I am serious. I am going to argue that extraterrestrials lie behind global warming. Or to speak more precisely, I will argue that a belief in extraterrestrials has paved the way, in a progression of steps, to a belief in global warming. Charting this progression of belief will be my task today. - msgnet

"I'm a hardcore libertarian and I agree - if I only had the choice between McCain and Obama, I would have to vote for Obama. McCain is really no conservative and the Republican party has gone away from it's small government platform." - msgnet
