Mary,

I posted a NASA study a couple of days back.

It was at: nasa.gov

Basically you can look at it and see that we are doing a pretty good job on pollution here. The Europeans are not as good, but not bad.

But - the real problem's are in Asia and surprisingly a lot of what we see in North America is from there.

And they are exempt from the Kyoto treaty.

So tell me how spending trillions cleaning up already relatively clean NY and London solves anything.

We need to develop bulk energy production, probably nuclear and help push this into regions such as India and China.

The largest coal fired plant in North America operates in Canada on the shores of Lake Erie. It is filling a demand that can no longer be met with Hydro (no new dams can get by environmentalists) and Nuclear (again with concerns).

Just a few years back Ontario led the fight against acid rain. Now its a production powerhouse :-(
