[quote=air_ogi]Yes, how dare I discriminate based on scientific credentials. Maybe we should ask Rush Limbaugh for his opinion.
China produces 1/3 of CO2 per capita US. India produces 1/10 of CO2 per capita as US.
EU introduced cap and trade in 2005 and had reduction in unemployment by 21% (from 8.9% to 7%) by 2008. I am not claiming that it was due to cap and trade, but your claim that cap and trade is economy destroyer is not grounded in fact. [/quote]
air_ogi, let’s suppose a country with a population of 100 people is confronted with two alternatives:
1. Produce 10 times as much pollution per capita as the USA, or
2. Produce 1/10 as much pollution per capita as the USA
Does it matter much for the world at large what that country does?
Of course not. It is interesting to note the per capita numbers, but what really matters is the total amount of pollution.
