The (Very Profitable) Economics of Emissions

The whole emissions thing is useless.

Look at China and India, China in particular, which has overtaken the US as the most polluting nation on earth.

Are these countries going to stop pollution, never, so they say.

Meanwhile we in New Zealand are the idiots who first signed the Kyoto Protocol, an action which will result in people here out of work, and costing billions of $$$ over many years, far into the future.

Yes folks, we have been proctolysed = shafted.

Kind Regards....

Never saw the term "proctolysed = shafted" before, but it is certainly apt. What surprises me most is that intelligent people havent woken up to the farce dumped on us by the "chicken little" crowd and hyped by the media. Same crowd as that lobbies against the US from developing the oil reserves in Alaska, when the world is being held hostage by high oil costs.

Hello agua_doc

I just made up that word, because I thought the action needed a properly descriptive word.

Kind Regards....

Globally, the whole emissions thing may be useless.

Locally in a place like Telluride [which sits in a valley] wood smoke can be thick enough to make your eyes burn.

I live in a very large valley which has an inversion layer much of the time. Woodsmoke is a big deal, when the logs burn, the asthmatics are hitting the emergency rooms.

Having efficent woodstoves, would be fine too.
