Its not all Bush's fault.....just some of it.

But the US Supreme Court smacked him down in 2007 when it ruled the Bush EPA improperly applied the Clean Air Act when it purposefully refused to implement the intent of the law and even went further to prevent states from regulating greenhouse gas emissions.

China has a long history of not really caring for human life in any serious way as a government. There are plenty of excess bodies there, and they could lose 50% of their population to pollution and global warming and still be overpopulated. Therefore, expecting them to change *anything* that might reduce their runaway growth and profits ain't gonna happen. Cheap and plentiful labor and energy, all controlled by a totalitarian government equals lots and lots of money in the right pockets.

If we want China to curb their emissions, someone's going to have to conquer them to get it.
