Ya know, it would be really refreshing to see a few of you man made global warming guys concede that maybe, just maybe the US isn't to blame for all this. The only real "facts" I have seen are that the earth's average temperature has been hotter before the combustion engine existed and the earth itself has spewed much more gas into the atmosphere at times than man could ever produce. These 2 things alone would suggest that it is "more likely" that any warming we observe is random. And as, I think OEX said, there isn't jack shit the US can do by itself to change this, anyway. Also, if you don't think the pro-global warming crowd has agendas, think again.
