The productivity of the USA is one of the most important factors in the
prosperity enjoyed by the developed world. Productivity can't be
achieved without consuming resources. If you cripple the US economy for
some imaginary leftist/enviromental-wacko reason you will, at the same
time, wreck the global economy.
Europeans who enjoy their computors, cars, and modern comforts would be
wise to pause and think about how intertwined the economies of all
nations are. If you damage us you damage yourself.
In short, a poverty-stricken USA wouldn't be able to buy your products.
Think about it.
The USA is actually one of the most conscientious nations in maintaining
environmental standards in industry.
Red China, which is growing rapidly in output as it begins to adopt more
capitalistic practices in its business operations, is one of the most
reckless nations from an environmental standpoint.
A treaty that allows China to pollute without restraint while it puts
draconian environmental restrictions on the USA, which is the great
engine of the western world's economy, is a ridiculous idea.
