Nice dodge. I'll rephrase the question: How is it, that you'll normally won't accept any fact or opinion, however small or insignificant without endless cites and pieces of evidence, but you'll accept guesses at face value, that even a 10 year old can make, on an issue as important as this?

Tell you what, i'll go and convince the US to do that, and you go and convince China. Agreed?

Punky, if you're going to make comments like this, you *really* should check your facts first otherwise you're going to look *very* silly.
Well done. Apparently I was fooled under a myth that Washington Irving perpetuated, and according to Wiki, I am not the only one. That makes me look silly? I don't think so. However, looking at your response which shows you how gracious & magnanimous in 'victory' you are, or otherwise, I know which person i'd rather be silly, or to have your attitude.

*NOBODY* has said "sell your car". *NOBODY* has said "live up a tree". So don't try the Straw Man tactic again, please.
Its sarcasm. And hippies won't let me live up a tree because the tree is more important than humans anyway. Without sarcasm: I won't adjust or alter my attitude towards the environment to any agree, with regards to 'scientists' warning about global warming, until 1 damn 'scientist' can at least prove 1 damn theory he has about it.

I have a theory that the crust might spontaneously crumble away which could release lava in across most of the land, and should cause seas to turn to steam and steam us alive. I say all communities should invest trillions in moving indoors permanantly in heat resistance biodomes. I have no evidence, just like the global warming scientists. What I said might or might not happen, but are you going to try and reach possibly unobtainable targets, at massive expense like biodomes which can resist heat to 1,000s of degrees C, purely on my guesswork? You'd be a fool if you did. No difference between that theory and the global warming catasprophe theory.
