China will seek binding pollution targets for developed countries and reject similar requirements for itself at an international climate summit next month, China's top climate envoy said Wednesday.
I understand that China's per capita emissions are still lower t ...[text shortened]... r Copenhagen will be as worthless as Kyoto.
And that, my friends, is saying something.
The world cannot expect China to be the world's manufacturing base AND cut emissions at the same time.
We are being ridiculous.
We're the ones cutting back factory jobs so WE shoudl be the ones doing the emissions cutting.

When China had their 1-baby law going, everyone was screaming how bad it was (in fact, I don't know if they actually stopped it or not, to be quite honest). But at least they tried to discourage population growth.
Personally, I'm all for global warming. The fast this ship sinks into a burning ball of fire and we all die screaming like pigs, the happier I'll be.

I also do kid's shows.
I totally agree.
The sooner humans become extinct the better for every other species on the planet and for the planet as a whole.
Maybe climate change is just Mother Earth's defense mechanism kicking in.

China has unveiled its first firm target for limiting greenhouse gas emissions, two weeks before a global summit on climate change in Copenhagen.
Beijing said it would aim to reduce its "carbon intensity" by 40-45% by the year 2020, compared with 2005 levels.
Now what? They choose binding pollution targets, but weigh them by GDP which means China's emissions will still probably grow. At least it's something.
China: We're not interested in curbing our emissions
