"Act unilaterally and leave the courageous, necessary, action for the next President." - JTS"

Not rubbish, Bush didn't even try!

It's no shock, China's position is/was no better than ours here in the US. Their 3 Gourges Dam project was/is an enviormental nightmare but as with many nations it's the cost of progress that we all will pay for, eventually.

The depleation of our rain forests worlwide, espically in Brazil is another cost that we'll all being paying for soon enough, if we haven't started paying already.
