if we don’t set an example ourselves Typical American self important position, as if the Chinese would follow - it's a classic delay tactic of the Chinese. Besides the truth is that the USA has grown it's CO2 output slower than any other country since Kyoto and no signatory will make it's self imposed quota's. So in fact if you went by just our slower C02 growth we are leading by example. California can lead, why can’t America? CA leads by buying it's crap from other states/countries that produce C02 on it's behalf - namely energy. They trade in CO2 credits - and pat themselves on the back. Following this model we should stop producing CO2 as a country and buy our energy etc from third world shit holes. Thus transferring our wealth abroad and making ourselves even more vulnerable to energy issues. Yeah - that's leadership.

re: Too bad. “It was America which put environmentalism on the world’s agenda in the 1970s and ’80s,” recalled Glenn Prickett, a senior vice president for Conservation International. “But since then, somehow, the wealthiest and most powerful country on the planet has gone to the back of the line.” You know that's really true. The air in many cities is much cleaner; many rivers are much cleaner. Now it seems like we're back sliding but I couldn't prove it. The primary issue to me is still economic and political, not GW.
