Obama's new START treaty

I'm all for getting the level of the stock pile down on nukes, they scared the hell out me when I handled them then, knowing that so many countries have them doesn't help me at all, but reading this article makes me wonder if Obama is trying to pass yet another piece of bad legislation on the American public, people hear what he says and say yes, but don't read the fine print.

Quote:
The New START treaty with Russia that President Obama is eager to have the Senate ratify is a bad idea for a lot of reasons. We can start with the details of the treaty itself.

While the treaty claims to achieve nuclear parity with Russia?s arsenal, these reductions apply only to strategic nuclear weapons. Russia will maintain a 10-1 advantage in tactical weapons. Limits on delivery vehicles count U.S. conventional weapons vehicles, a provision that doesn?t factor in this country?s greater global deterrent responsibilities that require conventional weapons. And no mention is made of Russia?s previous START treaty violations, raising the question of how compliance will be assured this time around. And these are just a few of the provisions that make the treaty a bad deal for the U.S.

Worse yet, the Russians have put a diplomatic gun to America?s head. Several Russian officials have made it clear in a statement from the office of the Russian president that the treaty ?can operate and be viable only if the United States of America refrains from developing its missile defense capabilities quantitatively or qualitatively.?

In other words, the treaty is really about limiting our missile defense, which serves Russia?s interests since it cannot compete with America?s economic and technological advantages in new weapons development. This threat by Russia?s leaders suggests that they believed the Obama administration was so eager for an agreement that it could be taken to the diplomatic cleaners.

Carbon is not the problem, it makes up 0.041% of our atmosphere , 95% of that is from Volcanos and decomposing plants and stuff. So people in the US are responsible for 13% of the carbon in the atmosphere which 95% is not from Humans, like cars and trucks and stuff and they want to spend trillions to fix it while Solar Panel plants are powered by coal plants
think about that
