One of the problems with this treaty, though, is that it ignores the fact that the US is more populous than almost all of the other nations in the treaty (I think we're third behind China and India) and we produce quite a bit of the products that other countries use. When we're the biggest industrial producer and main provider in the world economy how can we be expected to fit into such strict guidelines.
Don't get me wrong, I like the environment just as much as the next guy, but many of the pollution complaints are exaggerated. Some scientists have determined that all of the pollution that the human race has made throughout history is no more than the output of a volcano.
And can someone tell me what harm CO2 emissions are causing? Carbon dioxide is what plants "breathe". Perhaps the problem with the emissions is not industry, but greedy South American farmers who are tearing down the rain forest and thus lessening the number of plants that can suck in the CO2.
