Besides, this miniscule percentage cannot be appreciably changed even if you shut down all human industrial activity, including that of the curiously and ideologically exempted India and China. > Marlon writes: > > Finally, WRT India and China, again, the point is > that on a per capita basis, the US pollutes 5-10x more > than China and India.

India and China are two of the top four economies in the world, probably the fastest growing and have no environmental controls of any kind. The US has massive controls for health reasons and additional voluntary controls in the works. > I see this as a transparent attempt by the socialists who have infiltrated the extreme environmental movement to try through the back door what they failed to achieve through soicalism and communism, i.e. bringing the western economies, especially the US, down to the least common denominator.
