Bet none of the eco-communists will admit to this stunning development.
The real kicker is that China has an economy that is four times smaller, that’s right, smaller than the U.S. and yet it is producing more pollution!
How about we stop trading with the commie bastards until they they “cap” their carbon emissions?
China has clearly overtaken the United States as the world’s leading emitter of carbon dioxide, the main heat-trapping gas, a new study has found, its emissions increasing 8 percent in 2007. The Chinese increase accounted for two-thirds of the growth in the year’s global greenhouse gas emissions, the study found.
The report, released Friday by the Netherlands Environmental Assessment Agency, found that in 2007 China’s emissions were 14 percent higher than those of the United States. In the previous year’s annual study, the researchers found for the first time that China had become the world’s leading emitter, with carbon emissions 7 percent higher by volume than the United States in 2006.

Of course the apologists for the Chinese don’t look at GDP, but pollution per person. That simply is meaningless. The bottom line is that the Chinese economy is 10 trillion dollars smaller than that of the United States, yet they pollute 14% more than we do.
Think of it this way, pollution wise, our power plants, our transportation system, and our manufacturing base is simply much, much more efficient. And yet, our Democratic Congress wants to impose an economy killing cap and trade system.

It is so wrong what the Democrats are doing to this economy. Bush is getting blamed for the high gas prices, right? Well, when’s the last time a democrat voted to built a nuclear plant? A pipeline? More drilling? Oh, that’s right. They haven’t! But they have voted for CAFE! (I think that’s correct acronym.) Ugh.
PS. About Chine, that is why the Kyoto Treaty received a 95-0 vote AGAINST IT in the US Senate…while Bill Clinton was in office no less. So how was that Bush’ fault? I’m sure they’ll think of something…
