Those are pretty broad statements. That would be like saying all Americans are ass holes. Not all of them are, but there are a few. There are a tonne of people in China who give a shit. Just because you don't see them doesn't mean they don't exist.
Take a look at the first story.
http://www.bulletin.uwaterloo.ca/2006/may/02tu.html You are right -- here it is corrected.
Make that 1.2 Billion people in China don't give a shit.
AND 1.0 Billion People in India who don't give a shit.
A good 99 Million people in Mexico who don't give a shit.
Another 99 Million in Korea and Vietnam who don't give a shit.
And about 99 Million in Russia and the Ukraine - they don't give a shit either.
The POINT of my statement is that the United States is the TARGET and these up and coming industrial nations are using Green House Gas emissions as the weapon. They are using environmental issues as a political issue to try and hamper US industry while they mostly ignore environmental issues.
Only recently have a FEW realized there is an economic cost to environmental hazards -- Have you seen Hong Kong Harbor??? GROSS!!
But back to the point - My statement is about political attacks and not the environment.
