I was reading Yahoo News when I came across this article it was talking about how China is expected to produce more CO2 than the US by the end of this year.
I believe under the Kyoto protocol, China is classified as a developing country, and as such, they are exempt from any limitations placed on the carbon footprint.
Will Globalization ultimately fail? Will Countries need to redevelop their own textile plants? Or will China continue to produce the majority of the fabrics, linnens, pants, shirts, shoes? Will the Chinese iorn and steel industries continue to improve? How will Chinese culture survive?
Cultural issues are different from strictly scientific CO2 emissions limitations, but industry requires electricity. Electricity is generated through burning coal. China has lots of Coal.
China believes in a peaceful rise. But they are modernizing some weapons systems as well.

2. Keep on as we are doing, and tell china "do as i say, not as I do"
Any guesses which of those will get results?
Forget about people and livestock. Mercury is cooler than Venus. Why? It doesn't rotate with respect to Sol. Very hot on one side, very cold on the other, somewhere in between, in between.
Look to astrophysics and geophysics for climate change engines. Tilt, wobble, and LVL (low velocity layer).
CO2 only represents 0.54% of the air in the atmosphere, and is still considered one of the main greenhouse gasses, but is still under 1% of those. Water vapor being 95%.
Has anyone really looked into the facts here, or is everyone just following the commissar political indoctrination.
This debate is about politics and not facts, the earth is constantly changing, and humans have little affect on the temperature. Believing that is giving humans too much credit.
