@markx15,
Quote:Why does your Kyoto Protocol not include, India and China? Arn't they gross poloutors too? I also suppose the next thing you'll say is GHG"s from humans are causeing global warming?
If I knew any chinese or indian people, then I would gladly debate with them why their country has refrained from participating in the Kyoto Protocol(does the fact that other countries havn't adherd to it justify the USA's negligence?). I see that you have forgotten to post a defense for your GHG emissions, I must assume(for the time being) that there is none or else you wouldn't have wasted your time pointing fingers.

Do you know why Warren Buffet doesn't consider his donation of aproximatly 37 billion US dollars to the Bill Gates foundation to be a handout? I'll tell you why. The only manner to reap benefit is for others to recieve less, so when someone makes a fortune it is a fortune which could have been distributed, but it is now concentrated in only one person. Call it as Buffet did a "loan", which the wealthy accepted from the poor, then invested, and at last they return it with interest. That is the one of the main reasons for Bill Gates, Warren Buffet and others to be fully against the formation of an aristocracy, not based on linage, but on bank accounts. So you see, the USA isn't being humanitarian in its aid, it is simply returning what it withheld for so long, and while there at it to garantee that there will still be something there to exploite for future generations, and again I'm not saying that only the United States of America does it, many others do it too, I am mearly taking the virtue out of the action.

As for my solution, there is none, there are too many diferences in the world for everybody to accept a single set of laws for anything, but we can't ignore that the ozone is under alot of stress. Stress we caused, and so we should at least try to ammend the situation, and since we don't do it individually.. collectively remains the only option(not that its a good one).
