→I have not studied the global warming issue, but it is going to be a hard sell in America
I have not been following the man made global warming issue in recent weeks (post Climategate) and what the possibly effects could be, but I can tell you that it is going to be a hard sell in America because: America has a down economy that seems will continue to get worse plus Obama's re-election is a long shot (Republican candidates are opposed to supporting the global warming issue), Americans prefer big cars and big houses, America has a strong oil lobby, has public schools which are doing a lousy job of teaching math/science, plus Americans value personal choice more than most nations. I don't see much happening on this issue over the next 5 years in terms of any changes. [[User:Conservative|Conservative]] 03:56, 23 October 2011 (EDT)

:Apparently we have 50 months left[http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/blog/2012/sep/30/50-months-climate-change]. Can't see it making much difference though. And even if it did in most countries the US and China don't seem very positive. I suppose it is just time to be thankful that we don't live in Kiribati. (unless of course we do, in which case just hope we can emigrate somewhere) [[User:Cmurphynz|Cmurphynz]] 09:35, 1 October 2012 (EDT)
