Originally posted by GRUNHERZ Kyoto leaves countries like China and India with less strict envioronental regulations while imposing harsh standards on western economies.. This is incredibly stupid and shortsighted and practically suicidal for the west for two related reasons. First because India and in particular China are in a stage of incredible economic and industrial growth. Historically the period where a nation pollutes the most and creates the biggest environmental disaters. Yet Kyoto would impose far lower standards for these explosivly growing and polluting econmoies than for the west's more stable and cleaner ones... Second this economic growth is leading to greater competition between those countries and the west. If they are allowed under the treaty to pullute at much greater rates while the west imposes on itself these harsh regulation this will be a huge economic and cost advantage for India and China. The result will be even higher profit margins for thewm, on top of cheap labor and of course even more outsourcing to these nations from the west..No sane western economy should submint to this Kyoto nonsense...
