US Among Worst 'Climate Sinners'

BALI, Indonesia (Dec. 7) - The United States and Saudi Arabia are the world's worst "climate sinners,"environmental groups said Friday, citing their high and mounting greenhouse gas emissions and inadequate government policies to combat global warming.

Australia was ranked third, but with a caveat: If its decision to sign the Kyoto Protocol is followed up with action, it would quickly fall down the ladder.

"The international community is still failing to comply with their responsibilities regarding climate protection," said Matthias Duwe of the Climate Action Network-Europe, which released the data Friday at the U.N. conference in Bali.

"They have not set themselves firmly on the path of limiting global warming."

Delegates from nearly 190 nations are attending the Dec. 3-14 gathering, charged with launching negotiations that will eventually lead to an international accord to succeed the Kyoto pact, which expires in 2012.

The 175-nation accord requires 36 industrial nations to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, a key source of global warming, by an average 5 percent below 1990 levels by 2012. Without action, scientists warn of catastrophic droughts and floods, collapsing ice sheets and vanishing coastlines.



Environmentalists on Friday released their annual index ranking 56 industrialized and emerging countries, which together account for more than 90 percent of global carbon dioxide emissions. The calculations, performed by the group Germanwatch, took into account pollution levels and trends, as well as overall climate policy.

Surprisingly, China - which some experts believe has already surpassed the United States as the world's top emitter of climate-changing gases - was recognized for improvements made over the last two years, most notably to enhance energy efficiency and promote renewable energy.

It went from being the 14th worst offender to the 17th one year ago.

"China's relatively positive political assessment gives hope that emission growth will slow down in the future," said Christoph Bals, executive policy director of Germanwatch.

Well, I can't say that I know what "extorton" means but I am confident that the Democrats are better stewards of the environment, the workforce and the teachings of Jesus Christ than any Republican could ever claim.

Talk to someone in authority in your Lions Club, staphy. They are not involved in your particular type of problem but I'll bet that they can help you find the resourses that can help you. Seriously, dearie, talk to them.

Oh me...I'm so glad you are the Saint of all the Lions Clubs..Since you keep bring this up..:laugh2:
We have a hell of a club and they do a lot of good for other's....not that it is any of your business...


We live our lives as we wish....and still make a hell of a club...


I don't give a rats ass about your whining....go do it to someone who cares...

[Psychoblues]

I take it that you are not inclined towards the worship and respect that your environment deserves?

Yepper...we live up here where we survive at all extremes...and by golly we all seem to pull together when the time is needed..

Maybe that is what is lacking in your life...

Your ranting as if you're some kind of BIG PERSON WHO IS IT...My club...rules say????

maybe you should come down off your high horse....

Just saying...I love my life...sorry if you think RULES are the only way to live....I feel sorry for ya...:salute:

[Psychoblues]

Why do you have to make up so much stuff to prove your point, Stephanie?

I am no "Big Person" and I have never said I was. I lack very little in my life other than to say I wish there were more that were as concerned about our environment as I am. I ride on no "high horse", staphy, and I don't expect that you do either. Your alcoholism is destroying you and you somehow feel better by blaming me for it?

Yes, staphy, I live by rules that I never set for myself. It is called civilization and more modernly referred to as social responsibility. Love it or leave it.

That explains alot. You have very little in life, and you hate those who worked hard and have alot of things

Wealth envy is common with liberals
