I’d like to call it the “exploited” box. The western consumeristic economy has spread around the globe, with the developed countries at the top of the food pyramid and the less developed, rather less powerful, providing resources upward. These resources include humans and their indigenous habitats. It is the West that needs to change its philosophy of consumption, whether out of humanitarian ethic or preservation of progeny. But the logical response is re-engineer Western values.

We have nothing to worry about as far as mankind’s producing “greenhouse gasses” is concerned. The climate is cyclical and is controled by the sun. It has been much warmer than it is now, and much colder. CO2 has been much higher in the distant past with no inout from man. What we do need to worry about is the government control of our energy sources and economies. Government policies can destroy our economies and cause a cultrual meltdown. Starvation, famine and war will result.

I guess Nature’s most plentiful greenhouse gas (water vapor) is OK even though it is more potent than CO2.

It seems to me that everyone loves talking in floscules and repeating what has been said many times without actually saying anything. Many of us know that manufacture of the ''richer'' part of the world has shifted into countries giving incentives to companies from ''richer'' countries in order to develop. There is a direct link in the demand of production from these companies that are still based with their tertiary and quaternary staff in the country of origin. Not only is the labour force being paid less in developing countries but is also going to face economic penalization for the consequences of producing for the richer world. Great way to keep them in the ''developing'' box.
