Submission + - Is US economy more important than world ecology?
valiko75 writes: "A recent report, under the title United States Climate Action Report, predicts a growth in the emission of greenhouse gases by 11% by 2012. The Greens will not be impressed of course, but the Bush administration says that this is a necessity, because there is more population and the economy has grown more; hence the necessary growth of emissions of harmful gases, which contribute to global warming (this 11% growth is in the U.S. and the warming is GLOBAL). Back in 2002 George W. Bush has set up a goal: to reduce these emission, so that they would be lower than the economy growth rate. This is what it is today. The question is "Why not try more to reduce these emissions?" The whole world is world is working on this topic, whereas Bush has spoken only recently for the first time about global warming, saying that this has became quite a challenge for all of us."
