That is at least a logical conclusion. If it is bad for Third World Countries, then it is going to have a negative financial impact on everyone, everywhere who follows it.
Yes and no intersetingly enough, there are a variety of arguments around about the economic impact of koyoto, some positive some negative, replacing old, inefficient equipment and bringing other gear up to scratch can have a positive economic impact along the same lines as most infrastructure investment. Of course there's also the economic impact of rising sea levels and more extreme weather to factor in.

This latest study I knew Jag would jump on is just as political, though. I wonder how long it took them to tweak the parameters of their favorite model to make them fit the data. Or did they just choose data which was used in the calibration of the model in the first place?
Does it make you feel better to say that? You know it would be quicker to put your fingers in your ears and sing loudly, it'd be equally logical as well. Do you have any evidence, even the slimmest strangest rant off newsmax or what a freeper told you to back that up? Or is it simply that if something doesn't fit your narrow worldview it must be denounced loudly before it might cause critical thought? I mean for fucks sake, it's US government funded research, not greenpeace.
