[QUOTE]Originally posted by First of Two: [QB] That would be good, except that every treaty out there EXEMPTS the developing countries from the pollution standards, because they know that those standards will cripple the countries' economic development. Even Kyoto exempted China (by far the largest polluter in terms of production to pollution ratio), Brazil, etc. Dehli, Beijing, Moscow, all have much more particulates per cubic meter in their air than any US city. In fact, in a study of a large number of major metropolitan areas, only France and Japan had lower pollution levels than New York http://www.worldbank.org/depweb/beyond/beyondbw/begbw_10.pdf. The US already has lower production to pollution rates than any other country and higher pollution standards than most countries in the world. Perhaps if the rest of the world would play catch-up, they wouldn't need to worry about the US so much. Guess we're firmly in the pocket of the wood products industry too, eh? http://news.ehsglobal.com/ajb/2-118,271-103,20928111 Yep, the government is doing nothing. http://news.ehsglobal.com/ajb/2-118,271-103,20854439 [/QB][/QUOTE]
