Think. before. you. post.
The U.S. is not going to destroy the world.
To destroy earth itself would take a tremendous amount of energy. Exterminating life would be pretty difficult too since you'd have to destroy ocean and land life. Cockroaches would still be around after a nuclear blast. Life happened after the dinosaurs became extinct and the Earth was still round(ish) and most importantly, it was still there.

I agree it would be tremendously difficult, and utterly impossible for any one country or even many combined to literally destroy the world. However if every single country pooled their resources, I think it could be done...

they say that durning the cold war, between the russian and us subs alone, there was enough power to completly destroy the entire USA. If two countries did that, imagine what we could all do while working together.
The definition of destryong earth is also sketchy, does it mean destry it as we know it or smash it into teeny tiny pieces?

Nope, not gonna happen. What're we gonna do? Pull an Armagedon and drill to the center of the earth and put a nuke there? Nope. All human life? Yes. Everything? No.

Yeah I was reading an article in some science magazine the other day where someone asked if it was possible to blow up Mars using all of earth's combined resources and the scientist who responded said that it would take a preposterous amount of energy to destroy a planet. We as humans, even with all our combined resources couldn't pull it off on Mars (which I remind you is smaller than the earth).
It's not like you can turn every single kind of element/material on earth into an explosive. By 'destroying the US' you probably mean wiping the surface clean, but you're not really destroying anything earth-related. That's all manmade stuff.
No you couldn't do it. And that conspiracy theory is nonsense, let me guess 9/11 never happened and we never landed on the moon either. Please...

I thought supposedly we had enough to "destroy the world" at that point in time, not just the US? I understood that to be destroy life as we know it, not smash the earth to pieces.

To clear up a little confusion, Global Warming doesn't refer to just heating and warming of the atmosphere as previously stated. It just makes climates even more abnormal and extreme. These unexpected snows are actually hints that the "Global Warming Myth" is in fact real.
Global Weirdness more like it.

They actually changed the 'name' of what they were calling Global Warming. Not everybody refers to it like this, but the name now being used it Global Climate Change.
When I say they, I have no idea who would have the power to change a name like that, so I am going to guess that it was Al Gore.

Yes, because before evil corporations and their factories, the earth's weather patterns were completely predicatable.

its changed because global climate is being altered. you can't assume the theory of global warming is directly due to the fact that the climate has changed. i mean scientists haven't been studying climate patterns for 30+ years the same way they are now to test the global warming theory. just because there's a climate shift (which there has been many times before humans were ever on earth) doesn't necessarily mean it's global warming. the most obvious effect is change of wind/ocean currents that will really just switch around stable climate systems.
