The Rural Voice, 2003-01, Page 15Jeffrey Carter Ever try phoning their help line? Good luck. The controversy surrounding the Kyoto Agreement is another prime example of absurdities in high places. There was even talk of high carbon dioxide levels boosting agricultural crop yields. As it turns out, those higher levels will actually prove to be a drag on yields when combined with the parallel increase in atmospheric impurities, according to a recent article in Science. Putting it another way, you may be able to grow roses by shoveling on manure but it's a whole different story when you pump too much crap into the atmosphere. As far as being able to reduce emissions by a mere six per cent, why not? How much need is there for SUV's with large engines. And does every farmer with a big V-8 or V-10 in their pickup truly need or use all that power? Manhood isn't found under the hood of your truck. You need to unzip. Finally, there's the fixation the world's last remaining superpower has with Saddam Hussein. It's a given, in most people's books, that Hussein is something of a manipulative megalomaniac. After all, he is a politician. Saddam should give up his weapons of mass destruction, if they're ever discovered. Yet if Saddam gives up his weapons, shouldn't all the other world leaders? Are weapons of mass destruction in the hands of a madman more dangerous than if they're possessed by a moron? The question begs to be answered.0 The Rural Voice welcomes your opinions for our Feedback letters to the editor column.
