Kyoto

[cowman]

Kyoto is nothing more than a cash cow for the government. A way to rip off the consumer and the energy producer? For what? Absolutely nothing!
Bush is playing this one right. Pollution, worldwide will actually increase in a big way, while the wealthy industrial western countries will lose industry, jobs and real wealth!
When you look at the people behind this scheme, what do you find? How about our own little commie...Maurice Strong?

So to play devil's advocate here, there is a growing movement to bring development to third world countries - witness the recent Live 8, the call to end world poverty etc. If we are going to help poor countries develop, then shouldn't we move industries and viable businesses to these countries? Or do we just keep accumulating the wealth here and gripe about what we have to pay to the government etc.?
