I don't know if you were around in the 60s when most of the rivers in the US were dead, one caught fire, the Potomac was dead, now it's a Bass haven where they now have Bass tournies there. the air was terrible now it's pretty clean. The world's major polluter is China and they are exempt from Kyoto, something else is involved.

The current proposals for dealing with global warming impose larger costs on North America and Australia than Europe. They also will involve massive transfers of money from citizens and productive enterprises, to marginal projects, with various financial institutions getting a large slice of the transfer. Meanwhile, China, India and Russia will be exempted, ignore or lie about the limitations. This becomes a massive taxation without representation scheme, with little input from voters. The financial types who will profit are not generally known to be friends of democracy. The cure may be worse than the disease, the risk not being the money spend on reducing carbon, but in establishing institutions which cannot be controlled.
