Stockman, (and to the group in General) Environmentalism now has an important stage in Foreign Affairs, but is it ok to discuss it here? One issue I would like to discuss is Kyoto and its relationship to the 'Asian Brown Cloud'. Travelling in Asia I noticed this phenomena years ago, and have had a great deal of trouble with all the criticism of US policy and all the jibes about our producing an outsized proportion of the worlds pollution. Maybe we are just a tad more honest in our accounting :-) The 'fact' of breathing in many south Asian cities did wonders for my attitude towards Kyoto :-) Don't get me wrong - anyone spending time in China, India or Japan becomes a Green. I just don't agree with radical environmentalists on the solutions - like spending a huge amount on makeing new cars better (when they are by any standard great) when we could get rid of old clunkers. Or use the money to close down coal burning monstrosities in the mid-west. John
