Could you be more stupid? Even if the "science" is not there, only a lazy idiot would claim that business as usual is the way to go. The steps that might help with global warming are all things that we should just be doing anyway... just to be responsible denizens of this planet. The people who DON'T want to do anything are probably all people who waited for their mothers to clean their bedrooms when they were teenagers!

This is the biggest hoax in history. There is no reliable evidence that human green house gas emissions are causing global warming. But now that all the "effected" nations believe they can blame the weather on the western nations the whole farce will be self-perpetuating.
