Or you could call it leading by example....Greedy man's burden, and all that. You could call it that, and that has some value. And some debt owed. The question is how much weight you put on that. I would put more weight on the piles of Chinese and Indian soot covering the world. If we want to lead, and if we appreciate our burden, it seems to me that we might take all the money that might make some marginal difference in our footprint and subsidize a monster difference in their footprint. More effective and more cost effective. Such a deal!

Have you ever travelled to any of these third world nations? Then you would recognize that we are spending huge sums of money to control pollutions. On a pound per mbtu our fuel consumption is hugely cleaner than the othe 2/3 of the world. If they were following our example we would have tons less Nox, SOx, particulate matter, etc in the air. I would not encourage any of these countries to waste money on CO2 control, first lets see if they can apply proven technology to real well known problems. So control your guilt, our air and water is very clean compared to the other world you are defending.
