Will we succumb to pressure by small minded persons who feel that minimalist policy is good enough for the regular folks while they believe that elites should benefit from their "leadership?" We saw this in the Soviet Union where the "party" cooped the best food and the best housing and had their own lanes on roads. And they were very Clintonian by making sure that there always were plenty of young girls available to service the komrads.
This failed egalitarian movement is now repackaged as the environmental movement. Can't win on the battle field? Join the enviro-extremists! Can't compete with America's entrepreneurial spirit and individuality? Join the Kyoto crowd to slow that Mustang down.
The Kyoto crowd is now beginning to plan for post 2012 reductions in "green house gas" emissions. The fact that they have yet to measure one single affect of their mid-nineties protocols, they are pushing forward to slow the world's economies to almost a stop. The Seattle Post Intelligencer supports that strategy with today's editorial calling the Bush administration to join in. It's a happening and why are we all not enjoying the benefits of "just getting along?"
In my opinion we should review real scientific research, not sloppy political enviro-propaganda. There is much we can do and it's time to truly prioritize challenges that we can invest in to solve. But to achieve that lofty goal, tens of thousands of parasite environmentalists would have to stop sucking our economy dry.
