I agree. Didn't I read somewhere that 16 of the 20 worst polluted cities in the world were in China?

That they want to zap the US and give China a pass just goes to show that all this economic mumbo jumbo is pointed squarely at the US economy.

Screw em.

China pollutes atleast as much or slightly more than the US.

We have a population of 300 million, China, some 1.4 Billion.

If we ran things like China does today, we would all be chocking to death on the fumes.

SOme of the worst pollution is in Communist or former Communist areas. Poland and Russia come to mind.

WHen I was in the Komi Republic (1000km North of Moscow) - I had a hard time getting my head around how dirty everything was - trash in the streets (mounds and mounds) broken bottles on playgrounds, etc, etc.

I guess the Lady Bird Brainwashing of the 60s did some good here....
