New Zealand is doing the same. NZ leads the world with an emissions trading scheme and concern about CO2. Meanwhile, there are 29 dead people in a mine near Greymouth in NZ who had been mining coal to sell to China. If it wasn't so tragic it would be funny. There has been no economic return with the costs so far exceeding the revenue by a long way and now looking really bad. People here really do think CO2 is a problem yet we depend on it to feed the plants which provide NZ's economic foundation. There's no warming. After 100 years, there has been no warming which can be attributed to CO2 emissions. Even if all the minuscule amount of warming, 0.7 degrees if we believe the so-called experts, is due to CO2 emissions and not just Little Ice Age rebound, it's insignificant. After 100 years of vast CO2 production, all we have achieved is 0.7 deg if we can claim all that. And the CO2 has boosted agricultural production dramatically and cut down the irrigation requirements. Even if there was a problem, the proposed solutions are totally meaningless and wouldn't achieve anything. Mqurice
