China, doing their part to contain GHG

This is so much like the Prisoner’s Dilemma, my Philosophy prof must be rolling over in his grave (assuming he’s dead by now, which the ever present bulging vein on his head did suggest…) China will do what’s best for China just like the US will always do what’s best for the US. Most sides won’t budge because they fear the other sides won’t budge. It's the way of the superpowers (not sure if that's a cause or effect, though).

I've lost all faith in major governments to do anything that isn't guided solely by money. So here's hoping the oil reserves run out before we do severe enough damage to our selves... But then again, they say if the ice caps melt, we might be able to find a stockpile accounting for 25% of the globe's oil, so maybe Reagan was right, global warming WOULD be a good thing…
