Yes. It is embarrassing that the world's richest country wants to take a free ride on this issue, by letting other nations lead the way in reducing their greenhouse emissions. The science is in, and it is no longer possible to hide behind a claim that somehow we are not sure climate change is happening. It is simply a lack of political will on the part of some, and political opportunism on the part of others, that prevents more decisive action being taken

Unfortunately, even the latest working report admits that there are many questions regarding the issues.

Even more amazing is the fact that so much of science needs to be ignored to make the comment that man is causing climate change.

The fact that 1850 was the low temperature portion of the last mini ice age should be noted and we can take hundreds of years to exit an ice age.

The fact the there are over 90,000 science observations from the 1800's that show CO2 levels slightly higher than today are also ignored to make the comment.

The Government should be allowing business to develop alternative energy sources. Focusing on a questionable issue with no honest method to recover from seems silly. This is different than focusing on CO2 reduction.

If global warming turns out to be an actual issue, and the science is still out on this (the politics certainly says the debate is over) then we will need to make changes. Drastic changes possibly. Until then, it is irresponsible as a country to force issues based on political science and mumbo gumbo.

Notice that the major producer of CO2 is given a pass? China can double it's output next year and no country will complain. The United States should take billions of it's dollar and waste it on, what results to no reduction during the worst economy in a generation? This would be foolish.

Why farmers should understand the climate and soil tip for the area in which they farm.?

Farmers should understand the climate and soil type of their area to make informed decisions about crop selection, irrigation, fertilizer use, and pest management.

Additionally, understanding local climate and soil conditions helps farmers adapt to climate change challenges and mitigate environmental impacts.
