Hi Janice, You are right. I should have referenced the countries and the African continent. I assumed most folks knew. My bad.
Most, if not all of the signees to the Kyoto Accords are poor, underdeveloped countries. Russia is also poor and underdeveloped too. The Oligarchs and the Russian government hold most of the finances there, not the people. My question is this: Why would countries without the ability to pay for the changes they have signed on to sign on to such an agreement? Answer: They expect the U.S. to pay for it, for them, like beggars with their hands out. Same thing with the UN— we pay much of the burden so that all of those poor countries can remain members, stay in nice hotels, eat like kings, and spit in our faces. I am paying for that.
I digress. My next question is this: When the earthquake in Japan's Fukushima happened, whose fault was the earthquake? And, whose fault was it that the nuclear reactors failed to hold up contaminating much land and surely some sea life? Now all of that wreckage from the tidal wave is washing up on America's shore.
To whom does one assign responsibility to?
Who should pay for the cleanup of our shores?
What if our children on the Pacific coast become contaminated and get sick or die from radiation poisoning?
One could say that the Japanese didn't build the reactors strong enough. How can they or anyone outbuild something that has no limits to its natural destructive force?
What irony. Choose, but choose wisely. You can't control or prevent the power of an earthquake or tidal wave any more than you can prevent a nuclear disaster unless you decommission nuclear power— and then more irony ensues. Where does one store the nuclear waste? Some say in the deepest part of the most corrosive part of the ocean. It is saltwater after all. Or let's burn the nuclear waste. Oh wait! That would create air pollution. OK. Then let's bury it in a country or state somewhere where it can never leak out. Someplace like Hanford.
The point being, in spite of us, nature does what it wants, not what it is mandated or directed to do.
