why US refused to join in the game of climate change?

Question

so many discussions, so many negotiations, so many forums, so many reports and reporters, so many presidents and people around the world, why is it US refused to do it? to handle the climate change like the others? their country is so big, and yet so scrooge and yet they make other poor countries and animals suffer with the climate change, they talk only but no action.... i think i'm going to hate them already...

Answer 1

Because we are smart enough to know the whole Al Gore motivated "Global warming " is a farce , the Earth is doing what it has done before , this is a natural cycle...

Answer 2

The USA operates under the belief thati a free market economy is the best pathway to prosperity. This system of capitalism is also responsible for resolving problems and provides the greatest number of people the most opportunities. This is in contrast to many other countries that impose excessive regulations and impede the creative aspects of human ingenuity.

Regarding climate change, it is the USA that operates some of the cleanest industries, technologies, and environmental programs. The problems of climate change will not be resolved by Europe, or Canada, or South America, or China... When it is resolved it will be through the free market developments of the USA. The USA will eventually be the one to look for when technologies are such that it becomes economically viable to affect the climate in a positive manner.

Answer 3

very nicely, you asked for spin so right here it relatively is. It feels like those generals (and different vets and vet communities) do unlike war and infantrymen being killed (opposite to what maximum folk think of roughly defense force workers). And it additionally feels like they do unlike foreign places dependence on oil the two. foreign places oil dependence means each so often you may combat for oil, each so often oil funds gets into the palms of terrorists and none of it relatively is nice for defense force workers (between others, i.e. nationwide protection). definite, they throw interior the term climate replace because of the fact they could for the reason that it relatively is the regular explanation for lowering carbon utilization. yet like i've got mentioned one thousand circumstances, some people like the assumption of carbon help regardless if the worldwide temperatures pass up, down or sideways. those men like the assumption of no longer giving trillions of greenbacks to center East countries (and the unfavorable repercussions that pass alongside with that). surely, it relatively is an invaluable element. If all people reads that article as help for the technological understanding of CO2 inflicting disasterous warming, then they're extra helpful at spinning than I. definite, it relatively is totally my viewpoint and punctiliously hypothesis. I surely have my grandfather who became killed in WWII to thank for permitting me to stay in a society the place i will brazenly speculate without worry of arrest or worse. Edit: i will could perform a little digging into the Trueman nationwide protection challenge. My preliminary effect is they're a Liberal front group. (definite, hypothesis returned, supply me it sluggish.)

Answer 4

One because most of these 'negotiations' exempt so called developing nations. Why should a nation that is so-called developing be allowed to polute while our economy is forced to suffer? Take China for example; they are exempt from the Kyoto protocol, but they now are the world's leading contributor to green house gases. A new coal power plant, without the various environment controls voluntarily used in the US, is brought online every week. Why don't you give them any attention? Why do you focus only on the US? Is it because you're jealous or feel that the US needs to be punished for being the worlds leading economy?

Next, it would do more to hurt our economy than it would to actually help the environment. Even supporters of the Kyoto protocol agree it would change almost nothing in terms of where the climate is heading. So why would we want to raise production costs and make ourselves less competitive in the world market for something that isn't even believed to really help? Plus, the evidence behind not only AGW but more importantly it's potential effects is way to limited to make a decision that could inhibit or perhaps cripple the world economy.

Also, where are you from? I bet you use loads of American products on a regular basis. Every time I travel to Europe I'm amazed at how the US owns everything. I was recently in Barcelona and Dusseldorf, and it was amazing to see the number of American stores and business though out the two cities. The whole continent is a huge consumer of American goods, eating American food, wearing American clothes, watching American movies, using American computer hardware and software, and so on. I bet the same applies to developed nations all over the world. What do you think will happen to your way of life if the US adopts an agreement like the Kyoto protocol? Those American products may not be there anymore, or may become prohibitively expensive. And do you really think your nation's economy can survive and thrive without the US's? Take a look at Cuba if you want an example of a developed nation without access to the American economy.

The biggest threat of climate change is rushing to conclusions and taking actions that hurt us more than help us. Do a little more research and think for yourself; don't just listen to those who tell you about all the nice fluffy bunnies that might die.

Answer 5

Because right now, the United States already has some of the cleanest (most environmentally friendly) manufacturing technology in the world. The development and use of that technology has required huge investments of U.S. dollars by the companies that are using them, which makes the products those companies produce that much more expensive in the global marketplace - especially when you consider the higher labor cost in the U.S.

The reason those "developing nations" are being left exempt from the Kyoto Protocol is so their economies won't be impacted by having to invest in cleaner technology. Those countries are already getting a break in the global marketplace via the lower labor cost to manufacture their products - yet "the world" feels that the United States needs to make the big changes to clean up our already clean act...

To me, thats asinine. The clean technology is already out there - right now - and it can be installed and utilized in those developing nations... They don't have to pay for the research and development, because somebody else has already taken care of those steps. All they'd have to do is purchase, install, and then USE the cleaner technology.

Sure, they'd also have to pay a "user fee" to the developer of the technology - which is standard practice in the industrial world... A company will develop a technology and patent it, and then users of that patented technology will pay a licensing fee to be able to use it.

What kind of impact would that have? For one, it would make the cost of doing global business a little higher for companies in those developing nations. They'd mitigate those higher costs by passing along a slight price increase for their goods to the consumer - and because many products from those developing nations are imported into the United States, the American consumer would end up paying a little more for imported goods.

That would begin to "level the playing field" between developing nations and industries in the United States- but the developing nations would still have an advantage due to the lower labor cost.

So again, instead of forcing companies already using more environmentally friendly technologies to try and go even "farther", this would force the rest of the world to at least match the clean technology already in use in countries such as the United States.

How is that unfair?

Answer 6

Tell you what, as soon as every other country meets our pollution standards I'll be more than happy to talk about it.

Also here is a report by a climate specialist that shows that most of the doomsayers are at least too early in there claims that the sky is falling.

Again this is a scientist that specializes in climate. If you are going to refute this then use another climate specialist, instead of a chemist or engineer.

Answer 7

The US is doing a lot at the State and local level.

"Republican governors team up against global warming"

http://rawstory.com/news/2007/Republican_Governors_team_up_against_Global_0716.html

"ENVIRONMENTAL LEADERS HAIL MIDWEST GOVERNORS’ HISTORIC AGREEMENT ON REDUCING GLOBAL WARMING POLLLUTION"

http://www.wisbusiness.com/index.iml?Article=110603

"At a time when the federal government is failing to act, these local leaders are moving America toward a safer and more secure future."

http://coolcities.us/

The President is a captive of the fossil fuel industry. Either he doesn't understand science, or he's just playing politics. The Federal government has muzzled global warming scientists, censored official government reports, toned down the IPCC summaries, and stands against the world.

That will change 20 January 2009.

Answer 8

1. It's a threat to national sovereinty.
2. It's a threat to the economy.
3. It's a threat to freedom.

Answer 9

Because the camp which holds that global warming is DEFINITELY man-made and DEFINITELY has dire consequences is mostly backed by socialist thinking. The United States is the most prosperous country in the world because of its economic freedom. Many U.S. citizens understand this and won't allow others to rob us of our freedoms via socialist trojan horse. Don't be duped by these "scientists" on government payrolls who stand to gain with all the sky is falling talk.

Answer 10

One Factor = "Cry Baby Al Gore" - people remember Gore losing the election and acting like the 'fool' he really is.
He does have a good following of Socialist Dupes that are foolish enough to buy his 'carbon credits' (indulgences).

I hope all his followers sign up for the coming EUGENICS program!
