Okay let me try to formulate an answer out of my own thoughts.<br>
It is freekishly cold at this time of year in the netherlands, last
year it was 30 degrees centegrate, it is barely hitting 15 now, so,
about the warming of the earth: im not entirely convinced and in my
eyes it may have a natural cause.<br>
<br>
point 2: what do you want to do against global warming, if it is
caused by CO2 as people always say? Getting everybody to cycle
instead of driving SUV's should be a start, but i guess thats not
something you can force on people.<br>
<br>
So, my question for you will be: <i>in you opinion, what would be
necessary to reach that goal of turning the heat down</i>? im
living in the netherlands, we'll all drown thanks to the rest of the
world, just like in bangladesh.<br>

<pre wrap="">Our planet is heading towards a global heating disaster that will make
World War II look small. (Recently I read that 70 million people in
Bangladesh face losing their land to the sea.) If we are to avoid
this, we need strong efforts right away. Meanwhile, greedy bastards
are funding activities such as the Heatland Institute [spelling
intentional] to pretend there is no problem.
A party that doesn't give high priority to this is not addressing
humanity's needs.
The German Pirate Party program takes a reasonable position on the
environment in general, but it's section number 13 (not near the
start), and it doesn't mention global heating. ("Global warming"
doesn't express the seriousness of the issue so I recommend "global
heating" instead.)
I propose that the Pirate Movement take a strong and clear stand:
We must save our planet from being roasted!
