Subjugation of America

Well it seems that as Americans we must make the rest of the world happy by cutting back on pollution while the rest of the world can pollute freely.

The Kyoto Treaty which has not been signed and for good reason by the United States. The U. S. has led the world in cleaning the environment. Pittsburgh in 1941 started cleaning up the air from the polluting steel mills. America was the first to require catalytic converters on cars. This required the selling of unleaded gasoline. Lead a major health hazard was removed from the air Americans breathe. Of course corporations like General Electric refuse to help clean up their mess especially in the Hudson River and the Environmental Protection Agency is supporting the failure of the clean up project.

Countries like China and India do not have to follow the Kyoto Accord. NOAA proves that China and India are major polluters. Their corporate giants do not care about the environment either. So on one side the world requires America to live up to standards but countries that purposely for years prevented business advancement now get the chance to catch up with no restrictions? The best time to control pollution is from the beginning yet not even Green Peace is trying to stop these countries from polluting.

Building clean factories now cost more now then polluting factories, but converting them later would even be a greater cost including lawsuits and laws passed by these same countries. This though is a logical idea that nobody wants to hear. When the rest of the world catches up to the standards of American pollution controls then it will be time to sit down and truly make an agreement on reducing pollution. One last thought the environmental conference in Bali produced a huge carbon footprint. Supposedly carbon offsets were purchased. The same type of carbon offsets that Al Gore buys which in reality he is only investing in his own company to pay himself.
