Coldwell: 'The BBC are a joke'

[Maelstrom]

per head is 1 way to look at it a culminative total is the way i look at it

But surely you understand culmative total isnt the correct way to look at pollution levels, how would China ever get less than Luxemburg? They wouldnt. Your argument is flawed.

No, i'm with Adam. Let the US, Russia and China reduce their emissions to the same cumulative total as the UK then we can talk about reducing ours.

What a RIDICULOUS stance!

They emit a lot less than us per person. And they make most of the products for the rest of the world!

How can you compare on an absolute basis the pollution of a country of 1.4 billion people against that of a country with 60 million people. If you use that logic in reverse, you would expect a workforce of 10 to produce the same output as a workforce of 100.

And you attitude stinks of hypocrisy. We have spent the last decades ruining the world whilst we develop economically. Now poorer nations are trying to catch up, you are asking them to cut pollution, when they already pollute less than us per head.

My god, these people are not driving around in gas guzzling 4 x 4's and flying on holidays three times a year. They are cycling around on bikes on the poverty line. The pollution they are causing is due to their manufacturing of products YOU consume.

Your arguments are illogical and selfish, which is no doubt why Adam has dropped out.

I thought the rolling eyes ment Shirow was being sarcastic.... so adam still on his own with his "scientific" view on pollution and the carbon footprint.

Hello Shirow - sorry if you were being sarcastic! My bad!
