I love posturing soooo much....just like the latest news out of the World Wildlife Fund accusing the United States of being the biggest caused of alleged global warming. Hey folks, what about CHINA with their billion people population? What about THEIR factories which belch out God knows what into the atmosphere without mandated emission scrubbers? Huh? What about the widely known story that Bejing may be prohibiting car traffic in the city for a month before the Beijing Olympics because of all of the pollutants? And what about the city which is the world's garbage repository of computer parts whose main waterway is chock full of arsenic?

Puhleeze....

The United States, the world's top belcher of greenhouse gas emissions, is "the biggest culprit" of climate change, the WWF said Thursday, urging Washington to take swift action against global warming.

"They are the biggest culprit and they are the biggest offender of climate," said Stephan Singer, head of the environmental group WWF's climate change policy unit.

"The United States should take climate change seriously," Singer told reporters in Bangkok, where scientists around the world are attending the week-long session of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), the UN's leading authority on global warming.

While accusing the US of "ignoring science" on global warming, the WWF still urged Washington to lead the world in combating climate change.

"What's happening in the United States is important because it is still the largest emitter" of greenhouse gas, said Hans Verolme, director of WWF's global climate change program.
