China has now clearly overtaken the United States as the world's leading emitter of climate-warming gases, a new study has found. The increasing emissions from China - up 8 percent in the past year - accounted for two-thirds of the growth in global greenhouse gas emissions in 2007, the study found.

And they're telling us what kind of light bulbs to use...

Will the libs go after China or will they keep hitting us because we’re a soft target?

[marron]

Good. We need to warm the climate.

Longer growing seasons for Siberian and Canadian wheat fields. Greenland becomes the breadbasket of the world.

[Libloather]

China pollutes. The sun warms. Where do we go from here?

Some questions answer themselves.

And China (and India) are exempt from the Koyota Protocols!!!

[bboop]

Oh thank God. Let’s nag THEM about paper bags and those STUPID light bulbs THEY make and not barbecuing and so forth. Oh, and cow farts.

Karma will take care of the Chinese.

...and the Chinese are drilling for oil 80 miles off of our shore without a peep. That just goes to show what the dimocRATS and the greens are really up to. Take down America.

Of course they'll continue going after us.

Typical Republican congressman:

"Howdy. We're sorry. Can't we all just get along?"

I read an article last week that in the present course in ten years China will be using ALL the present oil production available.

And the freaks in DC will continue to be freaks.

Wait till the other 800million Chinese come online.

Although, I suppose the Watermelons will still find a way to blame the US.

Chinese made light bulbs most likely....

That was a major accomplishment, since (outside the UN which is also located in the USA) the US Congress has been THE world's leading emitter of climate-warming gases for decades!

[CRBDeuce]

Karma will take care of the Chinese.

I'm sure that Karma is still in India, you must be thinking of his cousins, Yin and Yang.
