Congrats to Al Gore. We are screwn. [View All]

[Warren Stupidity]

Our president, Al Gore, and the IPCC were rightly awarded this years Nobel Peace Prize for their work on catastrophic climate change. Unfortunately the largest contributor to human sourced carbon emissions is run by an insane bunch of irrational fools, and our country has pulled back from the minimal efforts outlined in the Kyoto Treaty and created roadblocks to international efforts to deal with the problem. We are screwn. Google: co levels tipping point. We are there. We did nothing to stop it. The damage is irreversible, the only question is how bad will it get. It will get bad. The global economy is moving forward with carbon emissions inflation, the emerging industrial nations are bringing their citizens up to our consumer and carbon emissions standards, and the largest developed nation (that would be us) has refused to cooperate in any efforts to change course. Oddly, as peak oil plays into the mix, rather than causing a reduction in fossil fuel based carbon emissions as advanced economies shift to other more sustainable energy sources, dirtier sources of fossil fuels become profitable. Peak oil just makes matters worse.

Congratulations Al. Your tried. Too bad we didn't listen.
