China wrecked the Copenhagen deal

I feel interesting that an American has the audacity to blame China for Copenhagen.

It's a common sense in the world that US is the first to blame for the global warming, and it's still US who jeopardized the Kyoto Protocol. If not for the interference of US, the earth will never be the way it is now in terms of global warming.



the data of these two charts are from World Resources Institute
now is 2010, but it won't change a lot on the shape of these two charts.



Do US people have the right to emit more CO2 than other people in the world? (five times CO2 emission per person compared to China! )

It's true that China emits more and more CO2 and it's becoming the biggest emission source, but it's simply because China produce a lot of goods for the world. And if it's not China, there will be other contries to do the same as long as there are demands.
China emits CO2 since it's the factory for the developed countries. It earns a little money and takes the price of worsening environment. (lower part of the value chain) . Intriguingly, US, who earns the big money and don't have to be the big factory, emits as much CO2 as China. Why? What for? Maybe you guys could tell me.

Let's see what's said in copenhagen by US chief negotiator Stern.

“We absolutely recognize our historic role in putting emissions in the atmosphere up there that are there now,” Mr. Stern said sternly, “but the sense of guilt or culpability or reparations, I just categorically reject that.”

“We are certainly not going to become part of the Kyoto Protocol, so that’s not on the table,” Mr. Stern said at his news conference on Wednesday. “If you mean basically taking the Kyoto Protocol and putting a new title on it, we’re not going to do that either.”

Who wrecked the Copenhagen deal? Use your brain instead of swallow those propaganda and prejudices!
