<But the European fondness for carbon dioxide controls is easily explained by the fact that they would impose the biggest penalty on the American economy. This would make it far easier for Europe to compete without having to dismantle its cozy welfare state. Think of Kyoto as Europe’s weapon of mass destruction.> I am delighted to learn that the climate catastrophe unfolding on planet earth can be swept under the carpet by appealing to petty politcal sentiment. Silly me, I thought Americans might be concerned about the global disaster that we all face -- one in whcih Americans are the worst offenders. Now I see that changing our pollution standards to try to head off the worst of the effects is just a crude ruse by the Europeans to protect their welfare state system. You posted a pathetic piece of garbage -- take it to the curb.
