Superbelt--don't bother arguing with the global warming denial crowd, they will only hide from fact and obfuscate the issue under a shroud of misdirection. They cannot hide from the fact that the Earth's atmosphere is warming because of human activity. Their only arguements are economic, but those too shrivel when you consider the starkly negative economic impacts of environmental devastation. This is the same crowd that was telling us we would never run out of sperm whales in the sea, redwood forests in the west, and the plains full of buffalo. Sad, pathetic folk indeed.
Hope your children don't get asthma! That might be difficult to blame on trial lawyers and tax rates huh?
The supposed environmental benefits of not joining the Kyoto treaty listed above--thawed farmland, increased access to ice-blocked harbors--are laughable. Maybe if your country contains Siberia and Russia's northern border, meanwhile the U.S. mid-west turns into unarable desert.
