Yes Dave. I agree with Shambles, a fine job.

We are part of a global community and we do overconsume and overpollute in this country. Many around here at the 'Cat are not in that category though and Guest is preaching to the congregation. And even if not, all these threads ever succeed in doing is in elevating the flame.

Let's not play. Guest has had his/her say. Thanks.

Dave your willingness to wear the 'hair shirt' and not rise to the bait is worthy of respect. As a non-American I do object to the wording of the initial post.

This is a serious issue and not one where blaming any nation and their millions of individuals, will move us on very much. Their are many Americans who do care and are doing what they can.

I wish I had the right, as an American, to be resentful of your post. I have no such right, because you have the right of it.

i'm really angry

to reiterate oft quoted figures: the US has 4% of the world's population, yet produces over half of the pollution.

but do you care?

sure some of you do, but recent threads such as this one, suggest that many of you don't.

I know that anti-American threads don't go down too well here, but given the American position in the latest global climate conference, I think you should be very ashamed. Better, do something!
