U.K. Depends On U.S. Military

If we want to produce a robust manufacturing industry with very low emissions we will have to spend a lot of time and money on alternatives to current prodecures. The USA has the money, it is the biggest polluter. You put two and two together. Once we have removed the US from the equation we can work on less developed countries and...wait for it....HELP them to curb emissions.

The way I see it, the US is quite happy to carry on regardless of the grim warnings for the future of the planet because they are scared to death that China will overtake thier ecomony. Something HAS to be done to reduce pollution. The world has to work TOGETHER on this one with Europe and the US leading the way...

the so called redistribution of pollution is, and has to be, a temporary measure...yours is a feeble argument.
