If western nations reduce emmisions overall by 20 units, and China & India increase theirs by ONLY 20 units, we slow the effects. Is that so wrong to you?



Do you really not see the problem in that statement??

Why are we handing out Get out of Jail Free cards to two of three worst polluters on the planet?





Only an accountant could skew figures in that manner
China has over
SIXTY THREE TIMES
the population of Australia
India, almost,
FIFTY SEVEN TIMES


To suggest that Australia's emissions should be compared to EITHER is
 
LAUGHABLE



Of COURSE they are larger, as a combined total
Proportionally, they are MUCH lower









The world doesn't work in proportional terms.
It works in total terms.

We need them to remain third world for our sake.


Andrei,
You do realise just how laughable that is, don't you?





Perhaps we, in "the west", should cut our carbon footprints down to meet those of the average Chinese or Indian ?


Impossible ?

PROBABLY


Maybe we should meet them half-way - in a manner of
COMPROMISE
?




Maybe we just have to grow some balls and become responsible for our own actions!??!  Huh

The United States should also be kept to a % level of their 2000 levels.

Even George W Bush admitted the USA were prepared to accept that if a level playing field of China and India were capped to their 2000 levels as well.

Fair is fair.


So Bush was willing to limit the USA's emissions to an incredibly high number, provided China and India remained peasant societies.

How generous of him.
