half of homes in China use a coal stove for heating......... and they are building more and more coal power plants to keep up with their growing economy.
China and India both have a booming economic growth and they use home air conditioners with freon gas....... which pumps C02 into the atmosphere.
The U.S. made that illegal in 1992.
Even if the U.S. followed the Kyoto accords , China and India would be exempt... so at the rate their economys are growing I don't think shutting ourselves down will make much difference.As it is , we are making our vehicles more efficient and were working on making powerplants cleaner..... don't know what more we can do other than shut everything off or go Nuclear Power. Al Gore and Clinton by the way opposed the building of nuclear plants , which would produce "0 "emmisions. So it's kind of funny now Gore is complaining about the air pollution .
