Both China and India were exempted from the Kyoto Agreement. It would have stifled their growing economies.
The current administration is far more blatant...and I paraphrase The Won...
“My policies would necessarily cause energy prices to sky rocket”
“We can't keep our houses cool and drive big cars and expect the world to respect us.”
Like I care that the world is envious of the standard of living in the US. But a large portion of the electorate either didn't hear...or shouted YEAH!!!
Maybe we should try to bring willing countries up to a better standard of living instead of bringing ours down to theirs.
George Soros can't beat this whole country. But the inner dynamics might.

GATT and NAFTA were supposed to do that. Now American corporation are manufacturing in dozens of foreign nations. The only problem is that they are manufacturing items that were once manufactured in the USA. The heavy steel mills that produced so much pollution that the EPA bureaucrats could no longer breathe have been closed down and moved to China. FReepers cheered when the union jobs went the way of the mills until they learned that us taxpayers are now supporting out of work steel mill workers.
The automobile plants in Detroit have all cut their production because most of our vehicles now come from Canada or Mexico while us taxpayers are now supporting out of work automobile plant workers.
What would your plan be for those third world nations?
