I'm really tired of his global warming diatribes. While we are drawn into a specious debate, glaciers are melting and sea levels rising (though not the fault of the USA or Canada, rest assured!). I do agree that the western world needs to persuade/pressure China and India to step up to the plate now and make some hard choices to rein in their addicton to coal fired power plants.
