Some of the things (since 2000) can't be repaired.When you destroy and sell off the environment, that's it.Our economy,(I don't care what the g.o.p. say) was ahead in the ninties by at least 400 billion.Now the debt we have buried ourselves, and whored ourselves to China and Japan, the u.k. even Canada has a stake in us,is going to take I'm afraid our children to dig out of this mess.Not to mention womens rights,our basic freedoms and everything else they have slapped us in the face with.I wish a third party could win, but the odds of that are about as good as bush really being a christian!

I have to believe that we are on a downward spiral. We are depleting the primeval rain forests which provide oxygen and burning fossil ie carbon fuels which produce carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide, in addition to excreting sulphur which produces sulphurous and sulphuric acid. The westernised/civilised world is reluctantly taking small steps, but the 3rd world is increasing at an alarming rate.\nGlobal warming is a fact, and the result of this within this century will be frightening both in terms of sea-level rises and also hurricanes/typhoons/cyclones. Let us see what damage is caused in the Gulf of Mexico THIS year....

Start with Al Gore's Inconvieniant Truth to get the big picture. Then if you can consider other people elsewhere besides where you live you would know they are being effected right now. The world is warming up and ice is melting everywhere. We should all be very concerned......

no..don't count on it\nwith greed, self-indulgence, the cost of fighting terrorism, CEOs that cost thousands of jobs and millions of dollars,a  who-gives-a-serious-crap attitude on social security,and failure to recycle precious land and resources has taken its toll on us and payup time has arrived. We have serious business in our own  yard to attend to before we can resume saving everyone else who needs us. take a number please  :-)

Global warming is real and America is contributing at least 25% by emitting carbon dioxide gases.

In the USA the solution is not putting up with laziness. Most "poor" people in the USA are just plain lazy. The few that aren't, need to learn a trade.

Yes.  Global Warming is occuring.  It will just keep getting worse if we don't take measures to try and prevent things from getting worse.

You sound young and dumb, which is good. You've been warned early. You need to understand that global warming is real, and will cause a shift in geopolitics that is probably going to eventually kill you, or at the very least, make you poor and hungry. If you knew the true implications, you'd be shaking in your boots.

No, I don't think so. US is contributing very little money to help clear poverty around the world. Only UK and Australia did that largely. I'm not sure with this answer.

nope, not a long as they can hold down the poor with outrageous prices. That and its one way of comiting legal genocide. See if you get sick in this country and you can't afford the OUTRAGEOUS health insurance premiums chances are you make too much to get public assistance. By the time you do qualify? The cancer or what ever it is thats killing you will be too far advanced to do anything about.I have asthma. I can't even buy health insurance, life insurance or any other kind of insurance..and as you may have guessed ...I can't afford the medicines I need either. I am but one of millions with this problem.. Until we do something about our current government structure.. NOTHING will change. The rich will become richer the poverty stricken will starve and the middle class?.. well they slipped below the poverty line years ago. They just set things up so that you make one or two dollars too much to qualify for assistance yet can't afford health insurnace. MEAN time? they pump billions of dolars into forein counties that hate us..bolstering their programs while Americans do without!

I had a website addressing this very issue. We have many options available to us presently, but as long as their is a dollar in fossil fuels neither government nor corporate America is going to move in that direction. If you would like to be a mirror for the site let me know and I will get it back up!
