Surprise: North Korea is part of the Kyoto Protocol!
TibetanMonkey, the-Monkey-with-the-Bag-of-Shit
the Devil himself is part of the Kyoto Protocol. What an evil thing to
do, even signed by the Supreme People's Assembly (the equivalent of
Congress here)...
SEOUL, Nov. 20 (Yonhap) -- North Korea has joined an international
treaty aimed at curbing emissions of greenhouse gases, a South Korean
government official said. The official said on Saturday, on condition
of anonymity, that the North, which had acceded to the Kyoto Protocol
on global warming on April 27, appears to be stepping up efforts to
conform with the pact. North Korea has had the Supreme People's
Assembly, its parliament, ratify the pact and is expected to send its
delegation to a United Nations...

Listen brother, they have too few calories, and we have too much.
Solution? Ride a bike!

after all-- America is not member either of the International Court,
which is largely financed by countries like Japan...
"The maximum amount a single country can pay in any year is limited to
22% of the court's budget; Japan paid this amount in 2008."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Criminal_Court
In other words the USA is only member of the organizations for which
it finds any use, but not those which may impose have any obligations
on itself.
(I quote)
Some argue that the protections offered by the ICC are insufficient.
According to one conservative think-tank, the Heritage Foundation,
“Americans who appear before the court would be denied such basic
constitutional rights as trial by a jury of one's peers, protection
from double jeopardy, and the right to confront one's accusers.”

The jungle (fear, hierarchy) is created by the hungry predators for
the unaware monkeys (aka the sheep) to fall in the trap.
Buying an SUV (basically a "jungle vehicle") is such a way to feed the
predators (corporations that make such behemoths) in order to be king
of the road.

Hey Magic, we seem to be on the same side of the issue, and yet we
interpret it differently.
What's dooming the West is NOT the rational mind of the scientists,
but the reckless abandon of those who ignore the warnings of science
and keep driving an SUV in "automatic pilot." Eastern philosophies are
more spiritual in that sense, but don't have the power to stop Western
materialism (see China & India).
Now, who are those who ignore scientists if not the Christian sheep? I
just want to meet a man who believes in science that denies what
science is projecting into the future. I haven't met many.
The both get my...

Well, this question of climate engineering got the monkey curious and
here's some article on the subject...
My wise opinion? I believe before it comes to that we should start
with the common sense approach: bicycles, public transportation,
bullet trains... I believe in science, but science fiction is beyond
my simian brain.
You mention China & India, but Japan didn't go that way. I think the
Japanese are smarter, except for making SUVs for America. My sources
tell me cyclists ride on sidewalks though, and that's very
uncivilized. But their approach to public transportation is first
class. I don't think they want to be B-I-G like America.

Oh brother, these debates are leading to some serious stuff. I hope
all the world leaders are following us... ;)
Anyway, I should start with this issue, whether we believe or not: We
are going to have to do like Jesus and ride a donkey or something...
Actually we can make the campaign sound catchy such as: GET ON YOUR
ASS AND CHANGE THE WORLD!
As you say, our roads are SAVAGE & INTIMIDATING, but if we provide a
safe area for bikes many people will actually get on their ass and do
something!
This is PLAN A (PREVENTION) and then PLAN B (HIGH TECH) comes when we
have the money to make those technologies feasible. Bush spoke those
alternative vehicles that never seem to come. "Pie in the sky" like
God.
Putting America on a diet and being frugal like Japan & Germany is
feasible, though not likely.

Oh thank you, partner. Same here. You know something: That's the
reality of the jungle that many so-called cyclists deny --usually the
"pros" riding on weekends for no practical purpose. They say I'm
chicken, but I don't like playing chicken with the BIG BOYS.
I have a solution to that problem, nice, simple & free, actually it
may make some good money for bike facilities such as bike paths. My
solution is:
A BIKE IS A VEHICLE ENTITLED TO THE LANE. YOU THE DRIVER OVERTAKE THE
BIKE BY LEAVING THE LANE 30' BEFORE AND AFTER SAID VEHICLE. ANY
VIOLATIONS WILL BE CAUGHT ON CAMERA AND YOU WILL PAY DEARLY FOR IT...
SO SMILE. A COLLISION BETWEEN BIKE AND CAR IS ALWAYS THE FAULT OF THE
DRIVER UNLESS PROVEN OTHERWISE.
In the meanwhile we are waiting impatiently for better times.

Play it safe, Hichikuru, just play it safe. We are too many monkeys
overcrowding this tiny planet, and then the SUVs came to add the
dinosaurs to the problem.
Tell me why we are in the cage intimidated to go out on a bicycle and
enjoy the sun and the moon.

So tell me, Larry, you are an atheist that denies science. Funny thing
that is.
I hope you don't. But can we do about airplanes? Maybe shipping from
China is even worse, don't you think?
I can't cross the Pacific in my canoe, but I can use my bicycle
nearby.
