      Can you please give some examples ?
      With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.

          I didn't knew that you were that drunk Zkrib

          It's only france that have a lot of nuclear plants, the rest of us have mainly coal plants. (Ok the finns might have too, but who cares - they are after all finns),

          Cars ? Well, just raise the gas prize to 1,5 $ pr liter - soon your country will be swamped with cars that measures in kilometers/liter instead of liters/kilometer.

            Recent deomgraphic and economic trends support Europe being all for an arrangement like Kyoto. Not so much the United States (or Canada).

            Let's see where the fervour in Europe would be if real and substantial cuts had to be made.

              The first mainstream politician to "worry" about global warming was Thatcher, and that was because she wanted a cuddly reason for killing of the coal-mining industry.

                Thatcher's such a lovely individual, isn't she?

                    Americans often claim that meeting the modest Kyoto goals would 'wreck' their economy. Is there any meaningful analysis which supports this belief, or is it just right-wing folk economics? The amount America spends on worthless weapons and pointless wars would seem to suggest that they've got plenty of money to waste.

                      Even if you have faith in global warming, you've got to admit Kyoto would not do anything to address it.
