[quote]"This is a message to the whole world about those responsible for climate change and its repercussions — whether intentionally or unintentionally — and about the action we must take," bin Laden reportedly says on the tape, which was broadcast in part on Al-Jazeera television. [/quote]
[quote] He called for a worldwide boycott of American goods and the dollar. He faulted the United States for failing to sign the Kyoto Protocol, which sought to curb global warming by restricting greenhouse gas emissions. And he offered a word of praise for Noam Chomsky, the American linguist and liberal political activist. [/quote]
He should blame China

"Global Warming - endorsed by terrorists!"

I think Bin Laden should focus on China.

Jolly good!
I'll bet blowing all that jet fuel up was great for the environment.
Talk about unexpected.
Osama, Eco Warrior.
Brings new meaning to ecoterrorist
cause that jet fuel coming out of the world trade center didn't do anything
Golly.
He sure is serious about saving the environment, just like when he crashed that plane into those giant buildings.
I bet that did a whole lot of good for the atmosphere.
I bet Mr. Chomsky was pretty happy about being endorsed by one of the most notorious terrorists ever
Planet earth, now saved and sponsored by Bin Laden, for all your Eco needs!
Needs greenpeace logo

You're an idiot.

China does not pollute any way near as much per person as the USA; a more developed country.
Plus it's hypocritical for western countries to criticise China for going through a period of industrialisation western countries already had

bla bla bla china is killing everyone.

China doesn't show up on that list because there's so many of them.

Per capita is fair. You can't judge a country by its size for something like carbon
[QUOTE=radioactive;19923844]China doesn't show up on that list because there's so many of them.[/QUOTE]
So the Chinese don't deserve the same rights to energy as any one else?

China is second on the list in your post. The one under America.
And per capita, doesn't that mean per person? Of course China's is going to be lower per capita, they have a much higher population. The companies they have though do still spew out pretty much on par with the US.
Their land mass is only slightly smaller than the US;

while they have 4 times the amount of people living there as the US.

because I'm sure the massive amount of dust and smoke and debris that got kicked up during 9/11 didn't do SHIT
[sp]well it actually probably didn't, certainly not compared to nations' carbon emissions, but you get my point [/sp]
I hope this makes the dollar go down. I have thousands of pounds I want to trade in for dollars. I'd bring in bank!

Yeah, think about how many flights he stopped that plane making! Not to mention the waste of electricity leaving all the lights on in the Twin Towers was.
The man's a hero!

So the US produced as much pollution as a billion+ populated country? Disgusting.
"Now kids, as part of our Global Warming Awareness program for primary schools, we have decided to bring a representative who is very concerned about the effects of global warming, who you all know and love; Bin Laden!"
