Man, isn't that the truth. The Chinese aren't nuts (like we seem to be. More and more.). They want economic growth, a rational impulse if ever there was one, and it comes at a price, as it always has. If things continue on as they always have, and I don't see any reason why they shouldn't, it seems to me that science and technology, rationally applied, will come to the rescue.

I wish we in the US were moral and rational anymore. But we're not. We're collectively nuts.

Cold Shoulder to Climate 'Urgency'

WASHINGTON -- Unfortunately, China's president had to dash home to suppress ethnic riots. Had he stayed in Italy at the recent G-8 summit, he could have continued the Herculean task of disabusing Barack Obama of his amazingly durable belief, shared by the U.S. Congress, that China -- and India, Brazil, Mexico and other developing nations -- will sacrifice their modernization on the altar of climate change. China has a more pressing agenda, and not even suppressing riots tops the list.
