In the face of U.S. opposition, the U.N. chief said Wednesday guidelines on greenhouse gas emissions cuts favored by Europe and developing countries may be “too ambitious” to include in a final statement on climate change.
Makes us sound like the bad guys right? Well it gets better.
The new document called for consideration of action by developing countries to control emissions. Such countries, led by high-polluter China, maintain that rich countries should take the first steps, while poorer nations put their emphasis on economic development.
Well by that argument, China should be leading the way. They have one of the largest cash reserves on the planet right? The dollar is in "free fall" right?
Well let's see China step up to the plate and act like a responsible world power. Oh wait, that's not going to happen because China's full of shit.
China's not going to do a damned thing simply because they are trying to maintain their economy and they can't do that with regulations and extra costs getting in the way.
China's in some serious trouble here. They have 1.4 Billion or so people and the growth rate is astounding. Sooner or later, people are going to demand more and more from them and China's bubble can't last forever. Couple that with their pollution problem, and they will start really feeling the pinch.
With our dollar falling and China off doing other things with Iran, where's the incentive for us to keep our manufacturing plants in China?
They steal trade secrets and intellectual property all the time and their government does nothing to remedy the problem.
So if they won't help us, why should we help them?
