China
A report released last week by Beijing authorities indicated that as its economy continues to expand at a red-hot pace, China is highly likely to overtake the United States this year or in 2008 as the world’s largest emitter of greenhouse gases.This information, along with data from the International Energy Agency, the Paris-based alliance of oil importing nations, also revealed that China’s greenhouse gas emissions have recently been growing by a total amount much greater than that of all industrialized nations put together. sfgate.com
Which, of course, renders the entire Kyoto exercise a farce. Even if Canada decided to contract its economy by the required 35%, our sacrifice would be lost in the billows of CO2 rolling out from the world’s workshop.
I am, of course, waiting for GreenPeace, the Kyotology community and M. Dion to call for an immediate boycott of all products from China (that is to say, pretty much everything).
