THANK YOU!!!! I bet of those that comment all the time on Europe, most have never set foot in a European country.
It seems that Americans have somehow been given some form of divine knowledge from above. However, the knowledge is almost always wrong. And GOD forbid we should ever protect anything as petty as our own planet.
I was once at a chinese restaurant and ordered my food in the chinese language. I was called "an intellectual snob" and "kknow it all" for that atrocity. But I lived in Taiwan for 1 1/2 years and learne4d some of their language.
To am American anybody that has travelled, read books or wants to protect the planet is a "lefty" or an "intellectual snob". If you want to start to worry about your life and future, look up a concvept called "global dimming". It proves that greenhouse gases and global warming are far more severe than we ever thought. Yes, protect the butterflies and all other species. Because we are nothing but another species. We are dooming are children and grandchikdren with our igmorant lifestyles. The Europeans have the intellect to take Kyoto seriously and want a better planet. You dimwits need to wake up. But i doubt that will happen
