Well, first off, America did donate money to aid China. They wouldn't let any actual foreign rescue-workers into the harder hit areas because of transportation. Maybe that's true, maybe it isn't. Supposedly moving people and equipment in and out of the site is very difficult.

I'm not trying to defend Bush's forein policy, it's terrible. However, first you bash the US for having it's hands in everyone else's business, then you bash us for not responding (which we did, by the way) to a natural disaster in a country with a highly organized and capable government? Which way do you want it? We can't just dole out money we don't have to other countries while they buy up our debt.

I'm not an expert, but as I've had it explained to me, you'd hardly be able to "feel" global warming, just because it's a hot day, if it did exist. I think the theory was based on either a climatic shift that would end up making some parts of the world very cold, or a 1 to 2 degree change over the entire planet. A lot of people think global climate change could be caused by variances on the surface of the sun. There's some evidence to support this, and frankly, it seems a lot more believable to me than expedited heating of the entire planet caused by CO2 emissions.

And JJ, that was a terrible joke. Just terrible.
