I bet not a single one of them knows what's really in the Kyoto Treaty.

I would bet a pay check that you are correct. Also.. the United States is the #1 Polluter? Yeah, right. I am guessing all those third world nations and china, russia, etc are as clean as the wind driven snow, right? heh.

Businesses moved to those third world countrys for a very good reason besides hourly pay.. no OSHA to deal with and no environmental regulations.

I once worked on a classified high tech project that had production waste disposal as it's major expense. Once we got the product bug free and into an assembly line form, we shipped it to Mexico. It's still owned by a U.S. company and making the product for Zenith, but the environmental costs are gone. A lot of Americans lost good paying jobs because of that. The company had no choice. They'd have lost money running the manufacturing business here.

Even the air at the underground curbside at Los Angeles International Airport is cleaner that what you find in China. I've stepped off the plane many times and take a big breath of air and thought, wow, how nice. Seriously.

The U.S. has the cleanest air of any country that I have traveled to. That we have the dirtiest air is a whole lot of nonsense.
