Description:

I'm Orville Schell, the Director here at the Asia Society of the Center on US-China Relations. And I just got back from China last night where China has now surpassed the United States in greenhouse gas emissions. What would each of you do to help the United States and China get together to begin in a MEANINGFUL way, to solve this rather pressing global problem of climate change?

There are answers to all of these environmental & energy problems, however, the "powers that be" do not want such things implemented just yet. They will choose the appropriate time, finalizing the New Order.

Severe penalties should also be imposed on companies (particularly in the motor vehicle industry) who are buying out the enviro friendly car companies, only to crash them into the ground so they are not a threat. evicting Bush would also be a good start as he is not going to be any help at all when he remains loyal to all his big texas oil company mates. If i can see all this as an Aussie, then why can't the yanks see it?

What i would propose is the promotion of solar energy and other clean energies (hydro and wind etc). I would also be imposing huge taxes on big pollutors to make them change their ways. petrol (i think the yanks call it gas) prices should be raised as they are far too cheap which is encouraging people to use it more (look at Turkey for example, they are paying about $12US per gallon).

We can look at the way we've treated global pollution; Look at corporations still pumping Sulfur Dioxide into the air, notice the poisoning of soil from heavy metals such as Mercury and see how our fresh water is contaminated by chemicals and other pollutants. These politicians throw taxations on it all to encourage a LIMITED destruction of our planet. They refuse to fix issues becauseed their focused on profit margins and their own stock increases.

The Only thing that makes the Chinese ecomony big is number of the population in the country, you cant possibly demand China to do as much as a fully industrilized country like the USA.,
