Discard Kyoto

Yahoo! News reported China insisted Friday the U.S. and other wealthy nations should bear the burden of curbing global warming, saying the problem was created by their lavish way of life. It rejected mandatory emission cuts for its own developing industries.
Discard Kyoto, and anything like it. There is absolutely no way the west can stop global warming, even if it is a problem, if China and India and other third world countries are developing industries, and generating more carbon that we can possibly cut back, even if we destroy our economies.

You ought to check this article about the so called "climate crisis" out! It´s written by a staunch anti-leftist like yourself, I think you would find it very interesting.

Introduction:

I am not sure what the climate change discussions in Bali are expected to achieve, besides imposing unnecessary hardships on Australians looking for cheap booze before the Christmas break. (I am usually inclined to accommodate such wishes with respect to the antipodeans, and their ejection of prime minister John Howard in recent elections has made them quite popular in Asia.)

If the intent of the conference was to reshape the global economy, then the assembled delegates have started completely the wrong way. Then again, these left-leaning do-gooders cannot be expected to get things right anyway.
