China wrecked the Copenhagen deal

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.
