<![CDATA[Grist - Comment Feed for China and India have joined Kyoto, they just have different obligations, as is morally appropriate]]> Grist Comment Feed en Comment #1 by wacki http://www.grist.org/article/why-should-the-us-join-kyoto-when-china-and-india-havent/ Thu, 18 Jan 2007 16:19:50 -0800 http://www.grist.org/article/why-should-the-us-join-kyoto-when-china-and-india-havent/1 kyotto schmotto

In all honesty Kyotto is an extremely bad idea.  It's very complex, and so it is easily abused.  You are giving money to other countries, so it's extremely tough to sell.  It's just a horrible plan IMO.  Watch this video:

Then watch watch smalley's vid.  In all honesty I think the way the ivory tower is currently approaching this problem is absolutely horrible.

Emissions per capita don't tell the whole story. What are the emissions per productivity?

 Just as we (USA) use more oil and emit more greenhouse gas, do we also produce more per btu?

If we do why shut down the most efficient producers?

Thanks.

A bit late on this, but the original blog version of this article contains a couple of responses on the emission per GDP point. See here.

America is in a position to further reduce waste and develop technologies that can help the entire world cut emissions. And as pointed out elsewhere in the blog, Kyoto is still subject to negotiation and refinement in later phases. How motivated will other countries be when it sees the U.S. barely lifting a finger?
