China is World’s Top CO2 Producer

This is something I’ve already commented on in this blog.  BBC finally worked it out by themselves:

China has already overtaken the US as the world’s “biggest polluter”, a report to be published next month says.  The research suggests the country’s greenhouse gas emissions have been underestimated, and probably passed those of the US in 2006-2007.

Could you have a better illustration of why climate treaty models that don’t address CO2 emissions from developing nations are deeply flawed?  If human-generated CO2 is such a threat, how does ignoring the primary region where emission rates are increasing make even a little bit of sense???

Even for people who are willing to accept the claims of the global warming advocates, the fact that so many of them supported the Kyoto protocols should give one pause.  If they are this wrong on this one issue, the crucial issue of what do we do about it, what does this say about their judgement of the underlying science?

But the global warming scam isn’t about science, it’s about expanding government power over every aspect of our lives and raising taxes.


What’s going to happen to US industry when the global warming extremists like John McCain double the price of electricity?  I would think all these factories will close and set up in countries where they aren’t scared of technology.

(That’s not to say that there’s absolutely no truth behind global warming.  It’s that the majority of warming was natural and there’s nothing we could do about it.  Also that if we WERE causing it the fixes wouldn’t fix the problem. AND that the current cooling trend is being ignored by the global warming scammers.)

It also ignores the question whether this additional warming is truly a bad thing.

A lot of the supposed harm such as rising ocean levels, more frequent and more intense hurricanes, increased rate of diseases and so forth are based on sensationalized science.  At best the science is uncertain on some of these issues (like hurricanes) and for many, the science actually contradicts the claims (cold weather is more likely to cause disease related illness and death than warm weather).
