Anyhow, America, with it's overheated economy, sodomized the Kyoto agreements because they want money now. In the long run, it will just rape them back in the ass. Being economic, preserving fossil fuels and such, actually pays of economically in the long run.
The political issue with global warming is mostly people that are buying the 'oh my god saving the environment will be bad for our economy'-hype.[/b]
Sure, there can be an economy still be sustained and allowed to developed around CO<sub>2</sub> trading, without really digging into its long term development, but it still builds on the assumption that we are the sole cause of Global Warming, in which we actually aren't.
I think its an issue that needs to be debated, instead of being accepted as a fact. There's too many ifs and buts in the argument for Global Warming (at least when its concerning our influence in it), because in the end of the day, nature dwarfs us in the production of CO<sub>2</sub>. I doubt all the factories in the world can even equal the amount of CO<sub>2</sub> production when compared to the amount still stored within the world's oceans. And again, the Kyoto agreement doesn't take into account other gases that have an effect on the world's climate, such as Sulphur Dioxide, Methane, and Water Vapour, simple gaseous H<sub>2</sub>O.
If anything, its not a reliable investment. But as long as we can preserve fossil fuels and try to get to more abundant alternative fuels, then maybe...
