^^^ I agree with your assertion that India and China will continue to contribute tremendously to the carbon output. I also agree that there is nothing we can do to change their direction. Cap and trade is ill conceived and will only further damage our economy while the developing nations continue along their merry way.
On another point. I am not so sure that we could change the climate if we wanted. I am of the opinion that any warming or cooling is more due to the natural trends in nature and specifically the Sun. My sneaking suspicion is that this whole thing is a money making scam. It appears that people such as Al Gore and his ilk stand to make bundles from the sales of carbon offsets and credits. Kind of reminds me of derivatives and junk bonds. Guess I am a little bit of a conspiracy theorist when it comes to the global warming debate.
Does anyone remember Red Dye # 2, alar, chlorfloro carbons, freon, DDT, etc.?
