Greenhouse effect?

midnight Target: Your punitive measures would probably do more harm than good. You did add foreign aid to your last post, so we probably are closer to agreement on this issue than you think.
 Peter Bauer - a noted economist and foremost expert - also a winner of Milton Friedman Prize for Advancing Liberty - explains very well in his book how foreign aid is the root of most of the problems plaguing the third world countries.

Greenhouse effect?

Step 1
Economic embargo against anyone who fails to comply with stricter environmental laws.

So presumably no-one's going to be allowed to trade with the US - the world's No. 1 Greenhouse gas producer?

Step 2
Remove sources of pollution in any country failing to meet the demands in step 1.

And presumably the US can kiss their cars & factories goodbye too under Hortlund's scheme...

Oh yes, after the Kyoto fiasco the world is really going to be able to get the US to agree to this idea :rolleyes:
