Not so fast there CB, <Canada wants to dump softwood, New Zealand wants to dump lamb, and everybody wants to dump steel, but nobody wants to buy GM corn, and everybody wants us to sign onto Kyoto.>
I'm good with GM corn and think more CO2 is better and New Zealand doesn't dump lamb [using the word in the usual economic sense]. NZ lamb is produced by people who earn NZ$10 an hour [= US$4.7] on grassy land which costs not much per hectare in a climate which is wet, sunshiny and warm [more or less]. It isn't difficult to sell shiploads of meat in the USA with those input costs. More CO2 and warmth will make the grass grow even faster. The GM corn too!
NZ also has heaps of pine trees, which will also enjoy more CO2 and a bit more warmth. We also have steel, which we find on the beach in the form of iron oxide. Cook it up and bingo, heaps of steel for export. The people at the steel mill don't get paid much either. The pine trees get made into paper at factories where people don't get paid a lot either and that goes off to alien newspaper lands.
NZ has got the America's Cup and we are now thinking of taking over the USA. We've already got Canada [son born there] and nephew was born in the USA. We had China but the Japanese got bolshy and we had to clear out. However, with CDMA and QUALCOMM, we're in the process of recolonizing China. We've already got Japan and Korea. Working on India again.
My next aim is to get the UN reconstituted to a workable and sensible system. I have now started thinking that Saddam, by playing the bad guy, is going to help me get that. Then, those soothing cdma2000 phragmented photons will permeate the aether bringing Peace, Light, Harmony, Happiness, Health and Prosperity to the Planet.
