This could get very bad.

When the tundra melts and the calthrates volatilize!

We can't afford to have the first sign of a failed energy policy be the mass extinction of life on Earth. We have to act now.

Death by a thousand "burps"

Scary scenario - really!

But one question arose:
Scientists said that there already have been "heat"-periods on planet Earth, which are said to have been much warmer than the current one.

But how can it be then that they still are afraid of  volatilisation of calthrates - I would expect them to have evaporated during one of the last "heat"-periods, where temperatures have already been much higher than today!

If those calthrates didn't melt in an environment with *MUCH HIGHER* temperatures than we have *TODAY* - what makes them think the calthrates would melt *NOW*

Gets to the point it's justifiable self defense to kill anyone who refuses to cut their emissions.

Hey- don't let George UU become aware of that - he might end up with suicide!

Hmmm, do emissions of BS count?

Perhaps - if he turns out to be able to cut them (although I strongly doubt that...)

Emmissions would be cut more by killing all non Americans in self defence. Europe, asia, etc.

Yes.
But please go back - lets say - 1000 years in time and *THEN* kill all non-americans.

Then today only the only the *TRUE* Americans - the Indians - would live on this planet and it might be a much better place then, if no one had to bother with bushes or so...

(assuming you were referring to US-people with "Americans" - but whats with Canada and South America then?)
