Minimal petrol taxation and lack of climate policy contribute to American greenhouse gas emissions and energy use per person being among the world's highest. Yet the former president George W Bush cited the lack of restrictions on China for the US's refusal to sign up to international deals aimed at limiting global warming. The average American produces almost three times the carbon dioxide of the typical Chinese.

There are few things more absurd than the idea of man made global warming. The temperature of the planet varies over millions of years not dozens. Stand in the path of an avalanche and try and stop it. You will have much more of an impact in that futile gesture than trying to change the temperature of the earth.

And every Chinese wishes he were using as much carbon dioxide as every American.

But don't worry -- U.S. carbon dioxide emissions are now back to where they were in 1990, mainly because the economy is back to where it was in the Stone Age.

greenwon’t save the planet from fictional boogiemen. greenwill destroy people and prosperity from the very real threat of onerous, dictatorial powers exerted by government over people. If that appeals to you, move to NY and let Bloomin idiot, who runs the city tell you that 18 oz of soda is an illegal commodity.

OMG! The Chinese aren't breathing enough!!! That must be why they're too stupid not to kill our pets and try to poison us with their exported chemical-laden foods.

IATZ, but I don't care.

You're a lying pile of crap.

From a satellite perspective you can see a cloud of pollution emanating from China which stretches across the Pacific. That cloud contains not only CO2, but also Carbon Monoxide and good old soot (straight carbon)...Talk about "carbon pollution".

Our cars emit CO2 and water vapor, essentially the by-products of clean combustion.

I don't care what the idiot liberal judges say...CO2 is not a pollutant...especially at a level of 4/100ths of a percent.

...limiting global warming.

It seems we're coming out of an ice-age, what the hell would you expect to happen, and why would you want to stop that (assuming you could)?

Actually, no.
China produces far more CO2 than teh U.S. does.

Tuesdays and Fridays at my job we get shipments packed in dry ice. Hundreds of pounds of solid carbon dioxide. (It will cool your soda pop down real nice!) It makes me giggle like a school girl to stand out on the loading dock and watch as it sublimates into the atmosphere. Then “poof”, its just gone.

This troll is proof if how far our society has devolved. If he/she/it could think at all then he/she/it would know that carbon dioxide is necessary to sustain life. It is food for plants. If the article has any truth, then the rest of the world should be thanking us for promoting a healthier planet!

The average DUmmie troll produces almost three times the carbon monoxide when zotted than the typical Chinese.

You’re either stupid or ignorant.

Ignorant can be fixed on rare occasion. Stupid? Not so much.

Enjoy the future your stupidity reaps you, jerk.
