Sinners casting stones

Copenhagen Climate Summit was really the show for two countries: the USA and China, the biggest two polluters in this world. It came down to a simple struggle: each wanted the other to emit less CO2 than they would like.

The math is quite simple. Chinese outnumber Americans four to one. If Chinese would enjoy the carbon-heavy American lifestyle, China would emit a lot more CO2 than today. If that happens, that would force American to change their current lifestyle, something Americans would kill to avoid. Can he is with sin cast a stone?

But, argued Americans, all we want is to maintain status quo. Everyone freezes at their current carbon emission level until we, advanced technological countries, figure out how to solve this problem.

Did anyone buy that? Did any American buy that?
