According to the Global Warming nuts, its ALL the USA's fault. Not the smoggy Chinesse cities or the 3rd World regions where something like the EPA is unheard of.
Nope, according to the activists who tell the rest of us how to live, its all us. Meanwhile, they jump into their private jets, SUVs and other large-carbon footprint devices and insist we do as they say.
Ohh the hypocrisy!
If you wanna come with pro or contra argument, bring something intelligent to the table.
We burn about 25% of the total world's energy, Chinese roughly 10%. If you account for our 'cleaner' technology, we are about equal in terms of the gross pollution output. But size of their population is about 3.5 times of ours, so, per head, their pollution output is about 1/3 of ours.
Beside that, we have dirty habit of 'outsourcing unclean' manufacturing to the 3rd world countries because their environmental laws are pretty much nonexistent (with added benefit of using cheap labor).
So, if there is a problem with the pollution, we shouldn't blame others nor should we whine if others are blaming us. We are all dirty pigs...
