My main concern is that it places extraordinary demands upon the industrialized nations which have already implemented extensive (and expensive) pollution controls, while many of the developing nations are exempted. And this is quite pertinent to major smokestack nations like China and Russia. I'm a firm environmentalist, but I believe in the private solution over the public solution. If anything, the government should subsidize private industry to meet these pollution reductions when it is clearly that they are put at an economic disadvantage against overseas competitor who are not required to meet these standards. I'm also not convinced that global warming is a man-made event. The scientists have yet to account for the various periods in earth's history were the planet has warmed and cooled on its own. But overall, I think that we can reduce air pollution through greater use of Nuclear Power, and we can mitigate the hard waste storage problem by recycling the spent fuel so it can be re-used. The environmental risk is clearly not from the industrialized nations, but those nations developing their industries in a manner that utterly ignores pollution controls. Ron
