Even the Kyoto Protocol's faithful are beginning to lose hope...
not so....China and India are specifically exempted from Kyoto so it should not matter to them.
It is my understanding that Kyoto would have been detrimental to U.S. interests and that's why we refused membership, Is that correct ?

RE: China Overtakes U.S. In Yet Another World Record
This doesnt surprise me one bit. Its not only the air they are polluting. I see China needing more land. They are running their infrastructure to the ground. They might be billionaires, but they are not going to have clean water to drink.

Oh it'll get worse than that....wait for the lung ailments, the heavy-metal poisonings, the birth defects.
Yep...China's gonna poison themselves FIRST, because for the commies in power over there, it's all about
the money and the greatest asset for China, it's people, are expendable on an individual basis.
I just don't know why all the whining about Kyoto if:
a: it's hurtful to U.S. interests
b: China is exempt
c: India is exempt

Got to love this from Jack Cafferty of CNN.
On the April 9 airing of "The Situation Room," Cafferty said of America's relationship with China: "We continue to import their junk with the lead paint on them and the poisoned pet food and export . . . jobs to places where you can pay workers a dollar a month to turn out the stuff that we're buying from Wal-Mart. So I think our relationship with China has certainly changed. I think they're basically the same bunch of goons and thugs they've been for the last 50 years."

I agree and how did it happen? They try to fight the development of new Walmarts but they usually go through. Soon after they open many of the smaller stores in the area close. That is the way it works here in the rural places. Capitolism at it's best I am afraid.

There's no shortage of people who look for any excuse to rail against Wal-Mart, but you should keep in mind that the entire chain sells less than 10% of the crap we import from China. Even the small ma and pa businesses sell Chinese goods today. That's just about all there is for a lot of suff on the American wholesale market.

That is the scary part about it. Look through your tool cabinet, cloths closets, sporting goods,and just about everything else. They have flooded our every day lives with the things that are made in China. In the old days anything that was made in ***an was junk. Now ***an makes high quality and China, Taiwan, Singapore and some others are putting out the junk.

China's industry will soon enough create more difficulties than I believe the political leadership will be able to control. I saw a report that there are over 10,000 new internet users everyday in China. The more they see what the rest of the industrial world takes for granted the more they will wantthemselves. This includes not only all the comforts but also the freedoms.
