Your Prius Makes You Feel Nice But then you Read about China’s Coal Problem
The Prius, The Kyoto Protocol, Recycling, … these all sound nice, but really have little impact on the global environment when compared to larger growing threats that rarely get much pop-coverage. Take this one… the threat from China’s rapidly growing consumption of coal, and the dirty methods they use to burn it. Read up on it. Here’s a teaser… The increase in global-warming gases from China’s coal use will probably exceed that for all industrialized countries combined over the next 25 years, surpassing by five times the reduction in such emissions that the Kyoto Protocol seeks.
Question: If the environment is his main concern, why isn’t Al Gore spending his time on larger problems than changing behavior at the margins of fully developed (and relatively clean) nations? He should be in China, 24/7, working on a solution!
Potential Answer: Al Gore’s environmentalism is a ruse?
