Why don't we in America take global warming more seriously? Why doesn't the international community take it more seriously? It is going to take decades of research and development to find a suitable replacement for fossil fuels, and cost a whole lot of money. Private companies don’t have the desire to commit themselves to seriously pursing this, because right now the technology doesn’t exist to produce an alternative source of energy on a world wide scale that can be supported by consumers. It will take the government to get involved and its going to cost a lot of money. Is there a more justifiable cause to spend our tax dollars on? No! There is not another planet that we can pack up and move to after we’ve screwed this one up too bad.
The Kyoto Protocol is totally inadequate. It puts practically all the financial burden on America, and doesn’t do anything to mandate the two countries that pollute the most, China and India, to take measures that help stop their pollution.
