The amended statement is perfectly correct. Is nitrogen now a pollutant?

Or at least Global Warming shouldn't be a debate. It's extremely visible in tropical climates where already meager crops are failing and entire coastal regions are flooding,
Perhaps you should email CRU and point out all this warming that they seem to have missed. From one of the leaked emails :
The fact is that we can’t account for the lack of warming at the moment and it is a travesty that we can’t. The CERES data published in the August BAMS 09 supplement on 2008 shows there should be even more warming: but the data are surely wrong. Our observing system is inadequate
That from Kevin Trenberth to Michael Mann.
and it's visible further north where the ice cap is shrinking at an unprecedented rate.
You do realise that the summer minimum sea ice extent has been increasing for the past two years, don't you?
Maybe it's easier to ignore when you live in temperate regions with AC and central heating, but all of the data is still there for anyone that cares to look. I don't understand the accusations that it's faked at all - what does this supposed conspiracy inflating global warming stats hope to gain by inventing it?
Have you read the draft of the Copenhagen docs to be discussed? Industrial nations will be required to give 0.7% of their GDP to the UN to disperse (minus handling charges, naturally) to struggling countries like, say, China.
There are a vast number of reasons the data should be checked and audited before we commit economic suicide.
I really doubt the US counterpart has anything to learn from him or his plans
Like, for instance, what not to do?

My biggest issue is that, to my knowledge, there has never been a documented observance of life coming from non-life.
So, your biggest issue with a concept that explains how orgnaisms adapt to their environment is that no one saw life start? Dude, abiogenesis has nothing to do with evolution.
The location doesn't matter. If the taxpayer paid for it, I think the taxpayer should be able to use it.
Er, what?
Are you suggesting that, as a taxpayer in one country, I should have access to and use products and services paid for by another country?
What the fuck are you smoking, because it sure as hell needs to be made illegal.
I've watched facebook degenerate into an oozing fest of self indulgence and crappy quizzes about peoples aura/star sign/some other mystic crap or how good they are in bed, and too many of my friends now use it to grandly announce every mundane detail of their life to the world as if they're some sort of celebrity and we're all supposed to be deeply concerned about them cutting their pinky finger or enraptured by their new haircut, etc etc.
A great many people think that their lives are far more important and eventful than those of others, without making the mental leap to realise that other people think the same about their own.
Firstly, nationality is not the same as skin colour.
Nationality is not the same as DNA either.
