[QUOTE]Originally posted by First of Two: [QB] There's no return for ANYBODY on Kyoto, except the people who take advantage of its BAD science. Different question... how do YOU stand letting the environmentalists (mostly white, financially secure) run rampant over the poor and minorities? [QUOTE]A report conducted by Management Information Services, Inc. found black family income could decline by an average of $2,220 and 864,000 black jobs could be at risk. As many as 100,000 black and Hispanic businesses could also face ruin as energy costs increase and the ability to turn a profit decreases.[/QUOTE] [QUOTE]When you're a struggling black family already spending a larger percentage of your income on these necessities than everyone else, it leads to serious decisions. Air conditioning, heat or the convenience of a car may be sacrificed so other bills can be paid. And pray there are no medical emergencies or unexpected expenses. Who benefits from the Kyoto Protocol? China, Russia and Brazil, among others, are exempt from it. While our nation has shown environmental concern in the past and promoted cleaner manufacturing practices and improved car emissions, countries that have not are being rewarded. Bill Clinton once signed an executive order charging the government with promoting "environmental justice" to protect minorities from undue environmental harm. By potentially reducing our wages, raising our cost of living, putting us out of work and destroying our businesses, the Kyoto Protocol is an environmental threat to black America. If the government is going to meet its commitment, it can make sure the Kyoto Protocol is never imposed upon us.
