Greenhouse economic effect

Lots of issues including Russia – the USA complicated relations were discussed at G8 summit in Germany, but the question of the greenhouse effect taken for unimportant for many years appeared to be one of the most disputable. The parties agreed that so-called post-Kyoto agreements implying double reduction of emissions by 2050 should be worked out. In 2013, as soon as the Kyoto protocol is no longer valid, Germany is going to put forward an initiative of an agreement on global 30% cut of CO2 emissions by 2020. The document is supposed to be ready at the end of 2007 and accepted by the UN in 2009, when President Bush is due to resign.

The USA is known as the main opponent of the post-Kyoto plan; in 2001 the country withdrew from the treaty. They say it is impossible to reduce CO2 emissions caused by the American enterprises, as millions of people may lose jobs in this case. From the first sight such behavior seems selfish, as the USA, the leading economy of the world, produces the major part of greenhouse gases and, if ecologists are right, makes all the world human community suffer from gradually rising temperatures and other climate changes.

Here’s the players...

Idiots - Those that truly believe in man-made global warming.

Very Smart and Dangerous - The socialists who know it is a fraud but also know how ingenius (give credit where credit is due) it is to implement worldwide socialism.

Gutless - Those who know it is a fraud and yet do nothing to oppose this juggernaut.
