the environment is the economy

[chokingvictim]

If the environment goes to hell, what does the economy matter?

Vibrant and healthy economy now so we have the money and technology in the future to reverse and repair damage to the environment.

I agree, it's just changing the rules of the game, if every company and country follows the same rules in terms of environment, then it doesn't have any consequence on competitiveness

Haven't listened to Alex Jones in years. The truth is the truth. Environment is irrelevant. While us in the west and out paltry 500 million people are taxed and fucked for some bullshit environment crap, China, India and Russia will be kicking our ass.

You're right. China is already beginning to do it on a few levels. My dad is in the printing industry and he says it is going to shit in the US. One of the reasons is all the stringent EPA rules that have to do with paper and ink. China does not have to follow the rules and can therefore print products much, much cheaper.
