Degrade or Die!!!
Kyoto is more than simply reform
Kyoto reflects a worry about a destructive and dominant anthropocentric, capitalist
backed scientific climate
Signing Kyoto means condemning the accomplishments of scientific pursuits and
rationalist anthropocentrism!!!
And so the argument begins…
Does Kyoto put restrictions on the natural evolution of humanity?
What about survival of the
fittest!?!?
Kyoto is “rerouting”
natural selection!
Allow for natural
selection!

Cost of Kyoto in U.S.A
Roughly $300 billion per year
(Baliunas, 2002).
The cost to humanity is too great! Job cuts
petrol price hikes recession, further
poverty in developing countries!
But continued atmospheric
destruction is going to drown those
countries anyway!!!
Oh, yeah
