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?
