Did u pull the drive 1 hr in traffic test out of your ass ? I got a US licence by driving exactly 2 blocks Massachusets needs me to answer 14 out 20 rite for the learner permit ?

So the people who have those wooden cabins should be willing to share those cabins. If i m floating on a plank already half in the water and i suffer so ppl in the cabins can enjoy their lives mite as well let the ship sink trying to build my own cabin.

Again if i see contractors have big trucks around here i understand its a part of their business and they need those but i work as a software engineer where most people haul nothing but their ass to work everyday in big trucks. If u are going to need that truck once a year isnt it easier to rent ?

The tone of most comments doesnt seem to be a warning here. We should not let them have it hardly looks like a warning. And sorry for paiting 300 million ppl with the same brush but america as a country has little authority to tell any other country about carbon emissions. Borrowing from another post its like a cokehead telling a kid not to do drugs while snorting up one more line

So you want people to give up benefits of cheap fuel because the US after polluting for more than half a century now thinks it has had enuf and the world shud follow. What kyoto tries to do is give the developing countries an incentive to follow a higher cost path to development. They have problems of ensuring survival of their populations right now and dont have the time or resources to think about what would happen 500 years down the road. If the a chosen few want to live the best of lifestyle while condemning millions to lower lifestyles they might as well not care about what happens later their life aint improving much anyway

Well the US refused to let the CEO of Union carbide be tried in an Indian court of law. Maybe bcoz it was indians that died in the accident ?

Now i dont like to repeat myself but i posted this somewhere else. There is a cost of giving up gasoline. A cost which will mean it will take longer for these countries to get their people out of poverty if they use anything but proven technologies. The developed world has built up its infrastructure and its standard of living by accessing this cheap and readily accessible fuel. The developing has just reached a point where they have mastered the technology to use this fuel and they are being asked to cease and desist. The kyoto protocol which seeks to equalize this has been effectively blocked by the US and maybe their reasons make sense for the US but then stop talking about doing good for the world

No it negates your right to preach other people about clean air pollution and carbon footprints You can use all the math and physics you want as long as you apply it to your life as well

No we havent decided that as a global community. Maybe the western world has decided we enjoyed its benefits now lets deny it to the developing countries

I understand people in US need cars still dont understand the logic of single person riding in Ford F150. I live in the US and drive a small car I completely understand your warning as well but remember giving up gas today comes with a price these countries cannot afford. By asking them to give up on gas you are asking them to give up on an opportunity to improve their lives. The kyoto protocol addresses a lot of these problems but the US refuses to ratify it :(

I don't understad why do drivers in the US who majorly drive big Ford trucks talk down to the developing world for driving small cars. Remember India with almost 4 times the population has a smaller carbon footprint than the US. Stop driving your gas guzzlers for the next 20 years before you get a right to talk about carbon footprints. After enjoying the economic benefits of gasoline you want the developing world to give it all up and stay poor is it ?
