And, quite frankly, one of the last papers to be yammering on about CO2 emissions is an Indian one
NEW DELHI: The US has done the least among the world’s eight biggest economies to address global warming, a study released on Thursday found.
Good. We’d prefer not to make meaningless gestures that would damage and destroy our economy and people’s lives.
The G8 Climate Scorecards 2008, released ahead of next week’s gathering of the Group of Eight on the northern Japanese island of Hokkaido, also found that none of the eight countries are making improvements large enough to prevent temperature increases that scientists think would cause catastrophic climate changes.
The gathering includes the heads of states of the US, Japan, Britain, Germany, France, Italy, Canada and Russia.
Interesting. According to the Little Green Data Book of 2007, America’s CO2 output increased 20% since 1990. India’s? 88 percent. Granted, the USA is a much larger country, so, our output is still higher, but, American CO2 output has been decreasing at a rate faster then Europe. India’s has been growing.
The study shows time is running out, Regine Guenther, director of the World Wildlife Fund Climate Change Program in Germany, said in a statement. “We have 10 to 15 years left in which the global emissions have to peak and decline,” she said.
And if not, we will all die!!!!!!!!! I thought it was only 10 years left, starting in 2006, according to The Goracle, whose own energy use continues to climb.
