You are quite correct UT. As I pointed out once in one of our earlier discussions on Global Warming, China and India are huge producers of greenhouse gases, and neither shows any serious moves towards cleaning up their industries. We had the results from models produced by other scientists that showed alarming predictions for the World, if these countries did not act now. China and India claim that we - the West - had our chance at economic growth, and it is only fair that they have their chance now. People from my own group tried to convince Chinese authorities the insanity of what they were saying, but they are determined to press ahead, and clearly do not care what effect they have on the Earth.
I should point out that it is not just greenhouse gases. They pollute rivers, land, anything that stands in their way.
