From Wiki - "the per-capita emission rates of the developing countries are a tiny fraction of those in the developed world. Following the principle of common but differentiated responsibility, India maintains that the major responsibility of curbing emission rests with the developed countries, which have accumulated emissions over a long period of time."
Kyoto emphasizes per-capita emission rates which allows developing countries to progress and urges developed countries to stop being such energy hogs.
It would be an excellent place to start.
Oh, and Dickie, CBC (Canadian Broadcasting Corporation) is my favorite radio station. I actually think that the programs are excellent. I wake up to it every morning. Its far better than the sensationalism and advertising of private stations.
Why don't you just put on your polyester, eat your MacDonald's breakfast and go for an exciting adventure at WalMart. When you get home, you can order a pizza and watch t.v. in your trailer down by the river. Oh, and don't forget to honk your horn for Bush.
Be a good little consumer and quit trying to convince Mudcatters that you have all the answers.
