This Tuesday 8:30pm SBS
Future Focus: Hot Politics

Looks into why the US has failed to ratify kyoto and the reasons for not believing that human activity is causing climate change.

"the US has failed to ratify kyoto".

No it hasn't. Your erroroneous language gives away your position (and SBS's).

The US has chosen not to ratify Kyoto. It has not failed. Your language implies the ratifying Kyoto would somehow be a success - but that would depend on your point of view wouldn't it?

SBS is, without exception, anti-US, anti-Israel, pro-Muslim, pro-catastrophic climate change, pro-green, anti-capitalism, pro-multiculturism etc etc.
Naturally, I'll be "failing" to watch the programme.

It is a big failure in democratic terms. The majority of US citizens support ratification of the protocol, yet both major parties oppose it.

It's a slippery slope if you're going to accept the majority view on everything. The death penalty would be back tomorrow.

As far as I know the majority opposes the death penalty.

Did anyone catch the show?

I have been thinking about doing something like this for a while, but here is a list of articles that address the major criticisms of climate science from the sceptics:

ABC, Thursday, July 12th at 8.30pm

Immediately following the documentary, Jones will conduct an in-depth interview with Durkin on all the contentious issues raised in the program - including its impact when it premiered in the UK in March on Channel 4; the science on which the documentary is based; the credibility of the scientists interviewed for the film; their satisfaction with the way they were portrayed; and the filmmaker’s assertion that capping CO2 emissions would be devastating to developing nations.

The interview will include opinions from eminent scientists from Australia and overseas who oppose and support Durkin's documentary.

Following Durkin’s interview with Jones, the discussion will be expanded to involve a panel comprising leaders from the business and scientific communities, social commentators, environmentalists and academics. This group will include a number of climate sceptics who support Martin Durkin's view of global warming.

an excellent documentary

I forgot it was on. Was there anything new or interesting you can remember?

seems the guest  (sense)  had the to common sense to go away...
I think the failure of the US to take positive steps in the prev decade shows just how bankrupt they were,, not just in funds,,, but in ethics .. and  the democratic power of the people.

Nobody gaf about the poor, the blacks, the survivors of Katrina  or Rita..et al...  the worst came to the front... and the worst hold the power in their Senate...to this day. 

If they keep having enough 'natural disasters' ..they may try harder.
