Climate Scorecard ranks U.S. last among largest economies.
Climate Scorecard ranks U.S. last among largest economies - USATODAY.com
The U.S. has done the least among the world's eight biggest economies to address global warming, a study released Thursday found.
The G8 Climate Scorecards 2008, released Thursday ahead of next week's gathering of the Group of Eight on the northern Japanese island of Hokkaido, also found that none of the eight countries are making improvements large enough to prevent temperature increases that scientists think would cause catastrophic climate changes.

Good. I'd rather our environmental policy and funding choices be governed by sound, proven science, rather than the issue du jour the hippies have been moaning about for years.
Try some objective science sometime, it'll be good for you. Instead, you'll take a handful of studies, and cover your earns and say "la-la-la-la-la" when any study comes out that refutes your narrow worldview. Or you'll claim it was paid for by oil companies.

The oil companies don't pay for science. They pay for PR. Tell you anything?
By all means why don't you post some of those studies that refute climate change.
