WIP Posted March 30, 2008 Report Posted March 30, 2008 Apparently, within 2 years China's greenhouse gas emissions are expected to totally swamp out the entire reductions of ALL of the other countries COMBINED!Could some Dion supporter now please explain to me why we should even bother? Here's the link: http://environment.newscientist.com/articl...ns-by-2010.html This is why a lot of people who believe there is a strong case for man-made climate change are pessimistic about the odds of a political solution. Kyoto wasn't worth the paper it was written on because India and China did not have to meet emission targets to get them to sign on to the deal. What good is this strategy if CO2 and methane emissions from "developing" nations are allowed to grow out of control? Quote Anybody who believers exponential growth can go on forever in a finite world is either a madman or an economist. -- Kenneth Boulding, 1973
