the fact that the regulations only take place in some countries and not others.

I do not agree with your addition at all. The "carbon dioxide reducing" regulations if universally enforced across nation boundaries would greatly decrease economic activity worldwide and thus impoverish humanity. Less world wealth would lead to unemployment, dislocation, death, wars, real environment devastation, man-made disaster. Even if only some major economies adopt "carbon reduction" schemes, the world suffers economic loss. Trade works to increase the wealth of all nations. Government regulation forcing businesses to avoid poisoning the environment are necessary, Government "carbon reducing" regulation recklessly distorting the economy is dangerous foolishness.

I agree with all that you said. My point was that in order to be taken seriously the global warming crowd should not be picking one country over another to enforce their regulations in. By forcing one country and not another it just proves that they don't believe it is serious enough to enforce. Some thing other than the protection of the planet is at work.

Besides I believe that global warming is a good thing.
